Detailed Explanation & Answer
To understand why the correct answer is (1)
A→III,B→II,C→I,D→IV, let’s break down each term in List - I and identify who coined it, based on List - II.

Analysis of Terms and Their Coiners:
Heteroglossia (A):
Coined by Mikhail Bakhtin (III): The term "heteroglossia" is central to Bakhtin's theory of language and refers to the coexistence of multiple voices or perspectives within a single text or discourse. It highlights how various social and ideological contexts interact in language.

Structures of Feeling (B):
Coined by Raymond Williams (II): "Structures of Feeling" is a concept introduced by Raymond Williams to describe the shared values, emotions, and experiences that are implicit within a particular historical period and social group. It represents a group’s affective values that are not explicitly codified but felt collectively.

Ambiguity (C):
Coined by William Empson (I): William Empson is famous for his work "Seven Types of Ambiguity," where he explores the idea of ambiguity in poetry and literature, considering how words and phrases can hold multiple meanings simultaneously.

Discourse (D):
Associated with Michel Foucault (IV): Michel Foucault's use of "discourse" relates to systems of thought and knowledge in society, particularly how power and knowledge interact to shape societal norms and practices.

Conclusion:
This matching yields the answer as:
A→III,B→II,C→I,D→IV
which corresponds to option (1).

So, the correct answer is indeed (1).
