Step 1: Sort the list into tissue categories first.
Before matching individual pairs, it helps to bucket each List-I item as either connective tissue, muscle tissue, or epithelium, since that narrows down which List-II option it can possibly go with.
Step 2: Place the connective tissue item.
Aponeurosis is a broad sheet of dense connective tissue that anchors muscle to muscle or muscle to bone, so it sits with the connective tissue category, giving A to III.
Step 3: Place the muscle related items.
Arrector pili muscles are smooth, unstriated muscle attached to hair follicles, which fixes B to I. Working through the remaining two pairs the same way, matching each structure to whether it is striated, unstriated, or a specific tissue type, completes C to II and D to IV.
Final answer: Option 1, A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV.
