Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists:

List-I (Person)	List-II (Work)
A. Uddanda	1. Sudhanidhi
B. Sayana	2. Mallikamaruta
C. Yadavaprakasa	3. Malatimadhava
D. Bhavabhuti	4. Vaijayanti

The correct matching of the authors and their works is as follows: Uddanda is the author of the drama Mallikamaruta. Sayana, the famous commentator on the Vedas, authored the Sudhanidhi (specifically the Subhashita-sudhanidhi). Yadavaprakasa, a contemporary of Ramanuja and a scholar of the Bhedabheda school, is credited with the Sanskrit lexicon known as Vaijayanti. Bhavabhuti, a renowned 8th-century Sanskrit playwright, is the author of the famous Prakarana play Malatimadhava, which depicts the love story of Malati and Madhava [2]. Therefore, the correct sequence for A-B-C-D is 2-1-4-3, which corresponds to Option 1. This identification is supported by historical records of classical Sanskrit literature where Bhavabhuti's dramatic works and Yadavaprakasa's lexicographical contributions are well-documented.
