Explanation

The question refers to a classic UPSC matching pair involving prominent authors and their literary works during the Indian National Movement. Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay is famously associated with 'Anandamath' and 'Durgeshnandini', though in this specific 2008 context, he is often paired with 'Devi Chaudhurani' or 'Sitaram'. Dinabandhu Mitra is the author of 'Nil Darpan' (1860), which highlighted the plight of indigo farmers. Premchand wrote 'Shatranj Ke Khiladi' (The Chess Players), depicting the decadence of the Oudh aristocracy. Rabindranath Tagore authored 'Gora', a novel exploring Indian nationalism and identity. Based on the standard 2008 UPSC Prelims key for this specific set of authors (Bankimchandra, Dinabandhu Mitra, Premchand, and Tagore), the mapping follows the sequence A-4, B-3, C-2, D-1, where Bankimchandra is matched to 'Devi Chaudhurani' and Premchand to 'Shatranj Ke Khiladi'.
