The question requires matching prominent Indian authors with their literary works. Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay is the author of 'Anandamath' (1882), which contains the national song 'Vande Mataram'. Dinabandhu Mitra wrote the play 'Nil Darpan' (1860), which highlighted the plight of indigo farmers under British rule. Premchand, a prolific writer in Hindi and Urdu, is the author of the short story 'Shatranj Ke Khilari' (The Chess Players). Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel laureate, wrote 'Gora', a novel exploring themes of identity and nationalism. Based on these historical facts, the correct mapping is: A-4 (Bankimchandra - Anandamath), B-3 (Dinabandhu Mitra - Nil Darpan), C-2 (Premchand - Shatranj), and D-1 (Rabindranath Tagore - Gora). This corresponds to option 3. Snippets confirm Bankimchandra's association with 'Shatranj' in some contexts, but standard historical records confirm the specific pairings provided.
