Geology Scholars and Theories Matching

This question requires matching scholars from List-I with their corresponding theories from List-II. Let's analyze each scholar:

Scholar (List - I)	Theory (List - II)	Reasoning
(a) Hall and Dana	(iii) Theory of Geosyncline	James Hall and James Dwight Dana independently developed the concept of geosynclines to explain mountain formation.
(b) Hutton	(iv) Doctrine of Uniformitarianism	James Hutton, considered the father of modern geology, proposed that geological processes operating today are the same as those that operated in the past.
(c) Harry Hess	(i) Sea floor Spreading	Harry Hess proposed the theory of sea-floor spreading in the early 1960s, suggesting that new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges.
(d) Jeffrey	(ii) Thermal Contraction Theory	Sir Harold Jeffreys proposed the Thermal Contraction Theory to explain the origin of continents and mountains, although it has been largely replaced by plate tectonics.

Based on the individual matches:

This combination corresponds to the code (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii).
