The correct answer is

A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III

Each Boolean algebra law has a standard defining identity (here * is AND and + is OR).

A. Absorption Law — a term absorbs any product that contains it: a+(a*b)=a, because if a=1 both sides are 1 and if a=0 both sides are 0. A → IV.

B. Bounded Law (null / dominance law) — OR with the upper bound 1 always gives 1: a+1=1. B → I.

C. Identity Law — 0 is the identity element of OR, so a+0=a. C → II.

D. Distributive Law — AND distributes over OR: a*(b+c)=(a*b)+(a*c). D → III.

Every other code fails on at least one pair: A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II calls the distributive identity the bounded law; A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I makes distributivity the absorption law; A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I calls a+0=a the absorption law.

A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III option is correct.
