A Correct answer
Explanation

(PPh3)3RhCl is Wilkinson’s catalyst and catalyzes the hydrogenation of alkenes, Rh(CO)2I2 is Monsanto catalyst and is an important process for the manufacture of acetic acid, PdCl4 is Wacker catalyst. The Wacker process originally referred to the oxidation of ethylene to acetaldehyde by oxygen in water in the presence of a tetrachloropalladate catalyst. Al(C2H5)3/ TiCl4 is Ziegler-Natta catalyst. It is as a catalyst in the synthesis of polymers of alpha-alkenes. Hence, the correct answer using the codes is A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3.
