The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Restless - Restlessness

Explanation 

In the above question to identify the correctly matched adjective and noun, we need to know about an adjective and a noun.

  • Adjective
    • ​​​​​A word that modifies a noun or a pronoun. 
    • ExampleA tall boy
  • Noun
    • A word that names people, place, things, and ideas
    • ExampleMike has bought a new car. Love is the most beautiful feeling.
  • In the above options, the word Restless is an adjective as it can be used to modify a noun or a pronoun.
    • Example: restless boy
  • Similarly, the words Restlessly and Restive are also adjectives, and the word Restive is wrong. 
  • In the above option, the word Restlessness is a noun.
    • ExampleRestlessness is the inability to rest. 

​​Therefore Option 2 is the only pair with an adjective (Restless) and noun (Restlessness) making it the correct answer.
