Let us verify the correct match between each postcolonial and cultural studies work listed in List - I and its corresponding author listed in List - II:

1. (A) The Wretched of the Earth matches with (IV) Frantz Fanon:
Published in 1961, The Wretched of the Earth (originally Les Damnés de la Terre) is a seminal psychiatric and analysis-driven book by the Afro-Caribbean psychiatrist and philosopher Frantz Fanon. The book provides a profound analysis of the dehumanizing effects of colonization on both individuals and nations, arguing for the psychological and physical necessity of decolonization.

2. (B) Nation and Narration matches with (II) Homi K. Bhabha:
Published in 1990, Nation and Narration is an influential collection of essays edited by the postcolonial theorist Homi K. Bhabha. The book explores how nations are constructed through narrative, language, and cultural representation, introducing and applying critical concepts that challenge monolithic ideas of national identity.

3. (C) Culture and Imperialism matches with (III) Edward W. Said:
Published in 1993, Culture and Imperialism is a major work of literary and cultural criticism by Edward W. Said. Building upon his earlier work Orientalism, Said traces the relationship between the imperialist endeavors of Western powers and the cultural productions (specifically novels and literature) that supported and reflected them.

4. (D) Imagined Communities matches with (I) Benedict Anderson:
Published in 1983, Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism is a highly influential book by Benedict Anderson. It introduces the concept that a nation is a socially constructed community, imagined by the people who perceive themselves as part of that group, largely facilitated by the rise of print-capitalism.

Thus, by matching each work to its author, we get:
(A) - (IV)
(B) - (II)
(C) - (III)
(D) - (I)
