The correct answer is: (a)-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)

(d) CsI salt is poor water soluble due to its low hydration energy.
(b) NaHCO3 is used in fire extinguisher.
(c) K is most abundant element in cell fluid.
(a) Li2CO3 decomposes easily due to high covalent character caused by small size Li+ cation.

Hence, option 1 is the best response.
