Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) i–b,ii–d,iii–a,iv–c

Explanation

Hayavadana reworks folk/theatrical traditions; Harvest stages dystopian bodily exploitation; Ghashiram Kotwal satirises political power; Evam Indrajit engages absurdist repetition and alienation. Therefore i–b,ii–d,iii–a,iv–c, A. Matching all four avoids selecting a sequence on one familiar title alone.
