The correct answer is option 1: 1 and 2.

Kalidasa wrote two plays before writing Abhigyanashakuntalam, which are Vikramorvashiyam and Malavikagnimitram. Option 1 correctly identifies these two plays.

Option 2 (1 and 3) is incorrect because Swapnavasavadattam was not one of the plays written by Kalidasa before Abhigyanashakuntalam.

Option 3 (1 and 4) is incorrect because while Kalidasa did write a novel called Kadambari, it is not one of the plays he wrote before Abhigyanashakuntalam.

Option 4 (3 and 4) is incorrect because Swapnavasavadattam and Kadambari are not the plays written by Kalidasa before Abhigyanashakuntalam.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 1 (1 and 2), as it correctly identifies the two plays written by Kalidasa before Abhigyanashakuntalam.
