Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

Explanation

In the SMTP reply-code scheme, code 214 is the reply to a HELP command and carries a help message, so A pairs with III. Code 421 means the service is not available and the transmission channel is being closed, so B pairs with IV. Code 220 is returned when the service is ready to proceed (the greeting banner), so C pairs with I. Code 554 indicates that the transaction has failed, so D pairs with II. The match is therefore A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.
