To match the vowels with the most likely formant values, we can refer to typical formant frequencies (F1 and F2) that are associated with each of the vowel sounds you provided:

1. **[i:]** (as in "see") typically has a high F1 and a higher F2:
- Likely match: **D** (F1 = 250, F2 = 2400)

2. **[ɔ]** (as in "thought" or "law"), which is a mid-back rounded vowel, generally has a moderate F1 and lower F2:
- Likely match: **B** (F1 = 450, F2 = 1070)

3. **[æ]** (as in "cat") is a low front vowel with a high F2:
- Likely match: **C** (F1 = 780, F2 = 2500)

4. **[ə]** (schwa, as in "sofa") usually has a low F1 and moderate F2:
- Likely match: **A** (F1 = 500, F2 = 1350)

So, the final matches are:
- **[i:] → D**
- **[ɔ] → B**
- **[æ] → C**
- **[ə] → A**
