Explanation

The correct matching of the writers and their respective books is as follows:

Trivikram Bhatta wrote Nal Champu (10th century CE), which is considered the earliest extant work in the Champu style (a literary form mixing prose and verse).
Somdev (Somadeva) authored the Katha Sarit Sagar (Ocean of the Streams of Stories) in the 11th century, a famous collection of Indian legends and folk tales.
Jaidev (Jayadeva) was a 12th-century poet best known for the Gita Govinda, which describes the relationship between Krishna and the Gopis of Vrindavana.
Kshemendra, an 11th-century Kashmiri scholar, wrote Brihatkathamanjari, which is a Sanskrit verse summary of the now-lost Brihatkatha.

Thus, the correct sequence is A-3, B-4, C-1, and D-2.
