  4. D2 1 5 4

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. Therefore, the sequence is 3-4-2-1, which corresponds to option B. Option C is incorrect as it matches T.N. Krishnan with the violin but incorrectly associates V. Shanta with water harvesting and Mahesh Dattani with theatre while leaving out physicist E.C.G. Sudarshan.
