Show answer and explanation

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

Explanation

Madhavikutty and Kamala Das are the Malayalam and English literary identities of the same writer. Ramanujan translated Ananthamurthy, Kashyap translated Goswami, and Chitre translated Dhasal. Thus i–c,ii–a,iii–d,iv–b, C. The first match involves self-translation rather than two different people.
