Correct Answer :

Option B

Solution :

The correct option is A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III.

To understand why this match is correct, let's look at each character in List I and match them to their respective plays in List II:

[A] Doll Common matches with [II] The Alchemist:
Doll Common is a key character in Ben Jonson's comedic play The Alchemist (1610). She acts as the female accomplice to the con artists Subtle and Face, playing various roles in their elaborate schemes to swindle gullible clients.

[B] Malvolio matches with [I] Twelfth Night:
Malvolio is the puritanical, self-righteous steward to Lady Olivia in William Shakespeare's famous comedy Twelfth Night (written around 1601–1602). He is famously tricked by other members of Olivia's household into believing that Olivia is in love with him.

[C] Mortimer matches with [IV] Edward II:
Roger Mortimer (specifically Mortimer the Younger) is a central historical figure and antagonist in Christopher Marlowe's Renaissance tragedy Edward II (circa 1592). He leads the rebellion against King Edward II and eventually deposes him.

[D] Bosola matches with [III] The Duchess of Malfi:
Daniel de Bosola is a complex anti-hero and the malcontent instrument of Ferdinand and the Cardinal in John Webster's Jacobean tragedy The Duchess of Malfi (circa 1612–1613). He is hired to spy on, torture, and ultimately execute the Duchess, later feeling remorse for his deeds.

Therefore, combining these associations gives us the correct matching sequence:
A-II, B-I, C-IV, and D-III.
