D.A-3, B-2, C-4, D-1
Explanation
A memorandum is typically used within organisations to intimate or convey a directive or instruction, so A matches 3. A flyer is a promotional/informational document distributed broadly without a specific recipient — disseminating non-targeted information — so B matches 4. Bcc (blind carbon copy) is used to inform someone confidentially without other recipients knowing, so C matches 2. Minutes are the official written record of decisions taken during meetings, so D matches 1. Hence A-3, B-4, C-2, D-1 is the correct pairing.
