Explanation

The correct matching is: (a) Retributive theory - (ii) Punishment, (b) Immemorial Antiquity - (iii) Custom, (c) Ground norm - (iv) Hans Kelson, (d) Locus Standi - (i) Public Interest Litigation. Retributive theory is a theory of punishment. Custom requires immemorial antiquity as one of its essential elements. Hans Kelson propounded the concept of 'Ground norm' (Basic Norm) in his Pure Theory of Law. Locus standi (standing to sue) was significantly relaxed in Public Interest Litigation, allowing any public-spirited citizen to approach courts on matters of public interest.
