Correct answer: A

Belligerent is the opposite of "peaceable": A-III.
Aggravate is the opposite of "alleviate": B-I.
Scanty is the opposite of "plentiful": C-IV.
Trenchant is the opposite of "vague": D-II.

Worth noting

Only one option has A-III, so that pair is enough to settle it; matching the pairs you are surest of first saves time.
