Explanation

Here is the correct matching based on the authors and their respective books: A. Amartya Sen wrote The Argumentative Indian (2). B. Bimal Jalan wrote The Future of India (3). C. Arundhati Roy wrote An Ordinary Person's Guide to Empire (1). D. Mani Shankar Aiyar wrote Confessions of a Secular Fundamentalist (4). Therefore, the correct sequence is A-2, B-3, C-1, D-4. Looking at the options provided, Option C (2 3 1 4) is the accurate match. The prompt incorrectly identifies B as the answer, but B corresponds to 3 2 4 1, which wrongly attributes The Future of India to Amartya Sen and The Argumentative Indian to Bimal Jalan. Option C is the logically and factually correct choice.
