A Correct answer
Explanation

The matching of cases to legal principles is: (a) Mersey Dock Trustees v. Proctor established vicarious liability; (b) Metropolitan Asylum District v. Hill established statutory authority as defense; (c) Nichols v. Marsland established Act of God as defense; (d) Holmes v. Mather established inevitable accident doctrine. Option A correctly pairs each case with its doctrine: (a)-ii (vicarious), (b)-i (statutory), (c)-iv (Act of God), (d)-iii (inevitable accident). These are foundational tort law cases.
