Your answer:  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 (1-4-2-3). This matching aligns the prominent leaders of the Indian National Movement with their seminal literary contributions.

  • Bal Gangadhar Tilak (A-1): He authored The Arctic Home in the Vedas, where he proposed that the North Pole was the original home of the Aryans based on astronomical interpretations.
  • Dadabhai Naoroji (B-4): Known as the "Grand Old Man of India," he wrote Poverty and Un-British Rule in India, introducing the "Drain of Wealth" theory which critiqued British economic exploitation.
  • Mahatma Gandhi (C-2): He wrote Hind Swaraj (1909), outlining his views on self-rule, passive resistance, and a critique of modern civilization.
  • Jawaharlal Nehru (D-3): He penned The Discovery of India during his imprisonment at Ahmednagar Fort, providing a comprehensive analysis of Indian history and philosophy.

Option 3 is correct as it accurately reflects these historical associations, whereas other combinations misattribute these foundational texts to the wrong authors.
