The correct answer is

a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii

 Two of the pairings are near-definitions — high impedance state means tristate, and ECL means non-saturating — and they leave only one consistent code: a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii, option 4.

ItemMatch
a. I2Liv. Bipolar logic
b. High impedance stateiii. Tristate
c. Controlled inverteri. XOR
d. ECLii. Non-saturation logic

b — the third state. An ordinary gate drives its output either high or low. A tristate buffer adds a third condition in which the output is effectively disconnected — both output transistors off, presenting a high impedance. This is what makes shared buses possible: many devices connect to the same lines, and all but one hold their outputs in the high-impedance state, so exactly one drives the bus at any moment. Note that high impedance is not a logic level; a voltmeter on such a line reads whatever the other devices or a pull-up impose.

d — why ECL avoids saturation. A saturated bipolar transistor stores excess charge in its base, and that charge must be removed before the device can turn off — the storage-time delay that limits TTL. ECL biases a differential pair so that the transistors are steered between two states while both remain in the active region, never entering saturation. With no stored charge to remove, propagation delays fall to a nanosecond or less, making ECL the fastest bipolar family — at the cost of the highest power consumption, since the tail current flows continuously.

c — the XOR as a controlled inverter. This is the neat one. Take an XOR gate with inputs A and B and examine it one input at a time:

BOutput
0A — passed unchanged
1\(\overline{A}\) — inverted

So B controls whether A is inverted. This is exactly how an adder-subtractor works: XOR each bit of the subtrahend with the mode line, and the same circuit adds when the line is 0 and subtracts by two's complement when it is 1 — the carry-in taking the +1.

a — I2L. Integrated injection logic is built from bipolar transistors, so "bipolar logic" fits, and it is the remaining item. Its interest is historical: by using a multi-collector inverter with current injection instead of resistors, it achieved densities approaching MOS while remaining a bipolar process.

Hence, the correct code is a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii.
