Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The correct matching of authors and their works is as follows: Somadeva authored the 'Kathasaritsagara', a famous collection of Indian legends and folk tales. Kalidasa, the celebrated Sanskrit poet and dramatist, wrote 'Malavikagnimitram' (often transliterated as Malamkagnirrdtra in older or variant scripts), which centers on the love story of King Agnimitra [1]. Bhasa is the renowned author of 'Svapnavasavadatta' (The Dream of Vasavadatta), which is considered one of the finest examples of classical Sanskrit drama. Bilhana, a Kashmiri poet, is the author of the 'Chaurapanchasika' (Fifty Stanzas of a Thief), a famous lyric poem. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-2, B-1, C-4, and D-3, which corresponds to Option 1.
