"Lectures from Colombo to Almora" is a renowned book that is based on the experiences of Swami Vivekananda, hence option 4 is the correct answer. Now, dissecting each option:

1) Veer Savarkar: He was a prominent Indian independence activist and philosopher. While he authored many books himself, "Lectures from Colombo to Almora" was not among them.

2) Annie Besant: A British socialist, theosophist, women`s rights activist, writer, and supporter of Indian self-rule. However, she is not connected to the referred book.

3) Ramkrishna Paramhansa: While he was Swami Vivekananda`s Guru and an influential figure, he did not write this book.

4) Swami Vivekananda: This is the correct answer. "Lectures from Colombo to Almora" is a book that documents Swami Vivekananda`s journey and experiences in India after his return from the West. It provides an insight into his views on India and its civilization.
