Answer: A

We can find the correct matches by analyzing the definitions of the words in Column 1:

  • 1. Eradicate: To pull up by the roots or destroy completely (e.g., "to eradicate polio"). This matches with S. destroy utterly.
  • 2. Distort: To twist out of shape or give a false account of (e.g., "to distort the facts"). This matches with P. misrepresent.
  • 3. Saturate: To cause to become thoroughly soaked with liquid so that no more can be absorbed. This matches with Q. soak completely.
  • 4. Utilize: To make practical and effective use of something. This matches with R. use.

Combining these matches, we get:

1:S, 2:P, 3:Q, 4:R\text{1:S, 2:P, 3:Q, 4:R}

Therefore, the correct option is A.
