A B C D

Explanation:  

INTERPOL Notices are colour-coded international alerts or requests for cooperation that allow police in member  countries to share crime-related information.  

• Silver Notice is used to identify and trace criminal assets. INTERPOL launched it in a pilot phase to  help member countries request information on assets linked to criminal activities, including properties,  vehicles, financial accounts and businesses. So, pair a-4 is correctly matched.  
• Blue Notice is used to collect additional information about a person’s identity, location or activities  in relation to a criminal investigation. So, pair b-2 is correctly matched.  
• Black Notice is used to seek information on unidentified bodies. So, pair c-1 is correctly matched.  ●  Green Notice is used to provide warning about a person’s criminal activities, where the person is  considered to be a possible threat to public safety. So, pair d-3 is correctly matched.  So, the correct matching is a-4, b-2, c-1 and d-3.
  
  

Therefore, option (3) is the correct answer.
