Explanation

Fait accompli is a French phrase meaning something that has already been decided or done and cannot be reversed — something with no option to deny (1). Hedonism is the pursuit of pleasure as the highest good — pertaining to pleasure (4). Hoplarchy refers to government or rule by the military or armed forces (2). Ochlocracy is government by the mob or mass of common people (3). Therefore A-1, B-4, C-2, D-3 is the correct pairing, corresponding to option (d).
