Explanation
Here is the correct matching:
A. E.C.G. Sudarshan was a world renowned theoretical physicist known for his research in physics, specifically the V-A theory of weak interactions. This matches with 3.
B. V. Shanta was a prominent oncologist and the chairperson of the Adyar Cancer Institute, dedicated to cancer treatment. This matches with 4.
C. T.N. Krishnan was a legendary Carnatic music instrumentalist known for playing the violin. This matches with 2.
D. Mahesh Dattani is a famous playwright and director associated with theatre. This matches with 1.
