Options:	A	B	C	D
1.	2	3	4	1
2.	1	2	3	5
3.	5	4	3	2
4.	4	1	2	3

Hint: Chemical properties of alkenes.

Explanation:

The reactions are as follows:

Column I	Column II
A. ${CH}_{2} = {CH}_{2} + H_{2} O \overset{H^{+}}{\to} {CH}_{3} {CH}_{2} OH$	Hydration - Addition of water
B. ${CH}_{2} = {CH}_{2} + H_{2} \overset{Pd}{\to} {CH}_{3} - {CH}_{3}$	Hydrogenation - Addition of hydrogen
C. ${CH}_{2} = {CH}_{2} + {Cl}_{2} \to Cl - {CH}_{2} - {CH}_{2} - Cl$	Halogenation - Addition of halogen
D. $3 CH \equiv CH \to_{Heat}^{Cu tube} C_{6} H_{6}$	Polymerization -

So, option 4 is the correct answer.
