The correct answer is

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

Surplus Energy Theory, associated with Schiller and Spencer, holds that play is the aimless expenditure of energy the organism has left over after meeting survival needs, so (a) pairs with (i).

Recreational Theory, put forward by Lazarus, argues the opposite - play rebuilds energy exhausted by work rather than discharging it, so (b) pairs with (ii).

Instinctive Practice Theory of Karl Groos treats instincts as the prime movers of the behaviour of men and animals and views play as their rehearsal, matching (c) with (iii).

Freud's Psycho-Analytic Theory sees play as an outlet for anxieties, tensions, conflicts and frustrations, matching (d) with (iv).

Hence, the correct match is (a)-(i), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iii), (d)-(iv).
