Solution :

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

To understand why this is the correct match, let us look at each author in List I and match them with their respective literary work in List II:

1. A) Sri Aurobindo matches with IV. Savitri
Savitri: A Legend and a Symbol is an epic poem in blank verse written by Sri Aurobindo. It is based on the legend of Savitri and Satyavan from the Mahabharata and is one of his most celebrated spiritual and philosophical works.

2. B) Kamala Das matches with I. Other Poem
Kamala Das, a major Indian English poet, is well-known for her collections of poetry. Her work includes the collection titled The Old Playhouse and Other Poems (often referred to in parts as "Other Poem" or associated poetry collections).

3. C) P. Lal matches with II. Calcutta: A Long Poem
Purushottama Lal (P. Lal), the founder of Writers Workshop, was a poet, translator, and publisher. He wrote the long poem titled Calcutta: A Long Poem, reflecting on the city of Calcutta (now Kolkata).

4. D) Toru Dutt matches with III. A Sheaf Gleaned in French Fields
Toru Dutt was a pioneering Indian poet who wrote in English and French. Her famous collection, A Sheaf Gleaned in French Fields, consists of her translations of French poetry into English, published in 1876.

By putting all these individual associations together, we get:
A - IV
B - I
C - II
D - III

This corresponds perfectly to the option (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III).
