A Correct answer
Explanation

(PPh3)3RhCl is a Wilkinson’s catalyst and catalyses the hydrogenation of alkenes, Rh(CO)2I2 is a Monsanto catalyst and is an important process for the manufacture of the acetic acid. PdCl4 is a Wacker catalyst. The Wacker process is originally referred to as the oxidation of ethylene to acetaldehyde by oxygen in water in the presence of a tetrachloropalladate catalyst. Al(C2H5)3/TiCl4 is a 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.
