(a) Diodes: Diodes are electronic components that allow current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction.  

(b) Capacitor: A capacitor is an electronic component that stores electrical energy and releases it when needed. In rectifiers, capacitors are often used to smooth the output voltage by reducing voltage ripple. They store charge during the peak voltage periods and discharge during the lower voltage periods, resulting in a more stable DC output.

(c) Transformer: A transformer is an electrical device that can step up or step down the AC voltage. It consists of two coils, primary and secondary, that are magnetically coupled. Transformers are commonly used in rectifier circuits to step down or step up the input AC voltage to a desired level for rectification.

(d) Rectifier: A rectifier converts Alternating Current into Direct Current. 

Now, let's match the rectifier types in List I with their corresponding descriptions in List II based on the above explanations:

(a) Diodes - (iii) Blocks the reverse current flow

(b) Capacitor - (ii) Smoothes the output voltage

(c) Transformer - (iv) Steps down or steps up the AC voltage

(d) Rectifier - (i) Converts AC voltage into DC voltage

Therefore, the correct match is:

(a) Diodes - (iii)

(b) Capacitor - (ii)

(c) Transformer - (iv)

(d) Rectifier - (i)

Hence, the correct answer is A) (a) - (iii), (b) - (ii), (c) - (iv), (d) - (i).
