4 3 1 2
Each word is built from a Greek root plus -logy (study of) or -phobia (fear of), so the root gives the meaning.
(a) Bromatology comes from Greek broma, food: it is the study of food, so (a) matches 4.
(b) Thalassophobia comes from thalassa, sea: it is the fear of the sea or deep water, so (b) matches 3.
(c) Carpology comes from karpos, fruit: it is the branch of botany that studies fruits and seeds, so (c) matches 1.
(d) Chorophobia comes from choros, dance: it is the fear of dancing, so the entry Dancing fits (d), matching 2.
The code is (a) 4, (b) 3, (c) 1, (d) 2; the other codes give, for example, thalassophobia the meaning of dancing or carpology the meaning of food, which the roots rule out.
