Explanation
"Ascribe" (Latin ascribere) means to attribute or associate ownership or authorship with someone — A matches 1. "Prescribe" (prae-, before + scribere, to write) means to lay down a rule or order — B matches 3. "Proscribe" (pro-, against) means to officially forbid — C matches 4. "Inscribe" (in-, into) means to carve, cut or etch into a material or surface — D matches 2. The prefixes determine each meaning. Only code A (A-1, B-3, C-4, D-2) is correct.
