To understand why this is the correct matching, let's look at the definitions of each literary and narrative term step-by-step:

1. A. EPIGRAM matches with III (A short poem with a witty turn of thought or a wittily condensed expression in prose):
An epigram is a brief, interesting, memorable, and sometimes surprising or satirical statement. In poetry, it is a short, witty poem expressing a single thought, often ending with a clever punchline or turn of thought.

2. B. EPIGONE matches with I (An inferior or derivative follower of a more distinguished writer):
Derived from the Greek word for "born after," an epigone refers to a disciple or follower, especially one who imitates the style of a great master or artist but is considered inferior, lacking originality.

3. C. DIEGESIS matches with IV (A term used in modern narratology to designate the narrated events as a level distinct from that of the narration):
In literary theory and film studies, diegesis refers to the narrative or fictional world in which the situations and events occur. It distinguishes the inner story world (the narrated events) from the actual telling of the story (the narration or discourse).

4. D. ELISION matches with II (The slurring or suppression of a vowel sound or syllable):
Elision (misspelled as "ELISIOJN" in the table) is a linguistic and poetic term for the omission of one or more sounds (such as a vowel, a consonant, or a whole syllable) in a word or phrase, producing a smoother flow, often seen in contractions or poetic meter.
