This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2020 Paper 2 Philosophy Question Paper (27-Dec-2020)
The correct answer is

(iii) (iv) (ii) (i)

Each information-related term is linked with the thinker who introduced or developed it.

The American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce (spelt Pierce in the list) developed a logical theory of information in 1865–1867, treating information as the product of the extension and comprehension of a term, so the logical theory pairs with (iii).

The German computer scientist Karl Steinbuch coined the term "Informatik" in 1957 for automatic information processing, so Informatik pairs with (iv).

Calvin Mooers coined the term "information retrieval" in 1950 for the searching of stored information, so information retrieval pairs with (ii); Richard Saul Wurman introduced "information architect" in 1976 for a person who organises information to make it understandable, so information architect pairs with (i).

Check: Peirce–(iii), Steinbuch–(iv), Mooers–(ii), Wurman–(i) gives (iii) (iv) (ii) (i); every other code links at least one term with the wrong person, for example "information architect" with Mooers.

Hence, (iii) (iv) (ii) (i).
