The correct answer is:
A
Step 1: In the circuit diagram, we can identify that bulbs L2, L3, and L4 are in parallel while bulb L1 is in series with this parallel combination.
Step 2: The current through L1 is the same as the total current from the battery, which splits among L2, L3, and L4. This indicates the current drawn by L1 is maximum since it's in series and the total available current from the voltage source is going through it.
Therefore, (i) Current drawn by L1 is [A] maximum.

Step 3: The intensity of L1 will be different from that of L2 and L3 because L1 has the entire current drawn from the battery, and L2, L3, and L4 share the current. Hence, (ii) Intensity of L1 and L2 is [B] minimum.

Step 4: The intensity of bulbs L3 and L4, placed in parallel, will be the same as they receive the same voltage across them. Thus, (iii) Intensity of L3 and L4 is [C] same.

Step 5: Finally, L1 and L4 are in different parts of the circuit with differing current; therefore, (iv) Intensity of L1 and L4 is [D] different.

Thus, the correct matches are:
(i) A, (ii) B, (iii) C, (iv) D.
