The correct answer is

4 1 2 3

To solve this matching question, let's analyze each word from List I and find its corresponding meaning from List II:

  1. Extirpate: This word means to remove or destroy something completely. It closely matches with "Destroy completely." Therefore, A corresponds to 4.
  2. Extol: This word means to praise enthusiastically. Thus, B corresponds to 1.
  3. Extremity: This word refers to the farthest or outermost point/edge of something. Hence, C corresponds to 2.
  4. Expunge: This word is synonymous with removing something completely, often referring to erasing from a record. This aligns with the meaning "To remove completely." Therefore, D corresponds to 3.

By matching each word to the correct meaning, the correct combination is:

  1. A. Extirpate - 4. Destroy completely
  2. B. Extol - 1. Praise enthusiastically
  3. C. Extremity - 2. Farthest point
  4. D. Expunge - 3. To remove completely

Thus, the correct answer is the combination: 4 1 2 3, which matches the given option.
