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.
