      Solution

      The idiom "a five-finger discount" is a slang term used to describe stealing, particularly shoplifting.
      Catch someone red-handed means to catch someone in the act of doing something wrong.
      Out of the frying pan and into the fire means moving from a bad situation to an even worse one.
      A cat’s paw refers to someone being used by another person to do something they don’t want to do.
      Therefore, option 4 is the correct answer.
