A Correct answer
Explanation

The matching pairs are: (a) John Austin described international law as 'positive international morality' rather than true law; (b) William Blackstone held that international customary law is automatically part of common law; (c) Michael Akehurst argued that opinio juris is not always a condition precedent for international custom (contrary to the traditional view); (d) Hersch Lauterpacht noted that while General Assembly resolutions generally don't create binding obligations, those recommending specific action to administering states may create some legal obligation. Option A correctly matches all four.
