  1. Aa) Baki lithas: Badal Sarkar
  2. Bb) Sita Swayamvar: Vishnu Das Bhave
  3. Cc) Yayati: Girish Karnad
  4. Dd) Giddha: Jabbar PatelCorrect

Explanation

Baki Itihas is indeed a famous play by Badal Sarkar. Sita Swayamvar was the first play staged by Vishnu Das Bhave, who is considered the father of Marathi theatre. Yayati is one of the most celebrated plays written by Girish Karnad. However, Giddha is a famous play written by Vijay Tendulkar, not Jabbar Patel. While Jabbar Patel was a renowned director who staged many of Tendulkar's plays, the authorship belongs to Tendulkar. Therefore, D is the incorrectly matched pair.
