Explanation

The correct answer is A because of the following matches between the books and their respective authors: I. The First Indian War of Independence was written by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (D). In this book, he famously described the 1857 revolt as a planned war of national independence. II. Anand Math was written by Bankim Chandra Chatterji (C). This influential Bengali novel is the source of Indias national song, Vande Mataram. III. Life Divine was written by Sri Aurobindo (B). This is a major philosophical work that explores his concepts of spiritual evolution and integral yoga. IV. Sadhana was written by Rabindranath Tagore (A). This is a collection of essays and lectures that explain his religious and philosophical outlook based on the Upanishads. By matching these pairs, the sequence I-D, II-C, III-B, and IV-A is formed.
