The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

(A) \(\mathrm{TiCl_3}\) is the Ziegler-Natta catalyst (with \(\mathrm{Al(C_2H_5)_3}\)) for polymerisation of alkenes: (ii).
(B) \(\mathrm{PdCl_2}\) catalyses oxidation of ethene to ethanal (Wacker process): (i).
(C) \(\mathrm{CuCl_2}\) is the catalyst for oxidation of HCl to \(\mathrm{Cl_2}\) (Deacon's process): (iv).
(D) \(\mathrm{V_2O_5}\) is the catalyst for \(\mathrm{SO_2\to SO_3}\) (Contact process): (iii).
So A-ii, B-i, C-iv, D-iii.
Answer: (4) (A) \(-\) (ii), (B) \(-\) (i), (C) \(-\) (iv), (D) \(-\) (iii)
