$\begin{array}{c}\text{Choose the correct answer from the options given below:}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\text{<br>}\end{array}$

The correct answer is (A)-(I), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(III).

Let us understand the meaning of each foreign phrase or term listed in List - I and match them with their definitions in List - II:

1. Ad interim:
This is a Latin phrase meaning "in the meantime" or "temporarily". It is used to describe a temporary state of affairs or a temporary appointment. Therefore, (A) matches with (I) Meanwhile.

2. Carte blanche:
This is a French phrase that translates literally to "blank paper" or "white card". In common usage, it refers to receiving complete freedom or authority to act as one wishes. Therefore, (B) matches with (IV) Full freedom of action.

3. De jure:
This is a Latin legal term meaning "of right" or "according to law". It distinguishes what exists in accordance with the law from what exists in fact (which is referred to as de facto). Therefore, (C) matches with (II) According to law.

4. Pot Pourri:
This term, originally from the French pot-pourri (literally "rotten pot"), refers to a mixture or medley of miscellaneous things, such as dried flower petals and spices used for fragrance, or a diverse collection of items. Therefore, (D) matches with (III) Mixture.

Combining these individual matches, we get:
(A) - (I), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (III).
