Solution :

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

To understand why this is the correct match, let us look at each author and their corresponding work step-by-step:

1. A. Purushottam Lal matches with II. The Man of Dharma and the Rasa of Silence
Purushottam Lal (P. Lal) was an eminent Indian poet, translator, professor, and publisher. He founded the Writers Workshop in Calcutta. One of his significant scholarly and creative works is The Man of Dharma and the Rasa of Silence, which explores themes from the Mahabharata.

2. B. Adil Jussawalla matches with IV. Missing Person
Adil Jussawalla is a prominent Indian poet, writer, and literary critic writing in English. Missing Person is his landmark second collection of poems, published in 1976, which deals with themes of exile, alienation, and identity in post-colonial India.

3. C. A.K. Ramanujan matches with I. Speaking of Siva
Attipate Krishnaswami Ramanujan (A.K. Ramanujan) was a highly acclaimed poet, translator, and scholar. His work Speaking of Siva (1973) is a classic translation of Vacanas—free-verse Kannada religious poems written by medieval Virasaiva saints.

4. D. R. Parthasarathy matches with III. Rough Passage
Rajagopal Parthasarathy is an influential Indian poet, translator, and editor. His primary poetic work is Rough Passage (1977), a three-part autobiographical book-length poem exploring the tension between the author's Indian heritage and English education.

Thus, matching the authors from List I with their correct works in List II gives:
A → II
B → IV
C → I
D → III
