(2) A-2, B-3, C-1, D-4
(3) A-1, B-2, C-3, D-4
(4) A-4, B-3, C-2, D-1
Answer: (2) A-2, B-3, C-1, D-4

Explanation:
Gregor Mendel (A) — the Father of Genetics — conducted his famous pea plant experiments at the University of Vienna/Brno monastery and formulated the Laws of Inheritance (Mendelian laws) (2). Harold C. Urey (B) — Nobel laureate chemist — worked on the origin of organic molecules on Earth; the Miller-Urey experiment (1953) demonstrated that organic compounds could form from inorganic precursors under early Earth conditions (3). Charles Darwin (C) — in addition to his theory of evolution — also studied and wrote extensively on the role of earthworms in soil formation and fertility in his book "The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms" (1881) (1). Dmitri I. Mendeleev (D) — Russian chemist — devised the Periodic Table of Elements in 1869 (4). Hence correct match: A-2, B-3, C-1, D-4.
