Correct Answer :

(A), (B) and (E)

Solution :

The correct option is (A), (B) and (E).

Let's analyze each of the combinations to understand why they are correct or incorrect:
1. [A] Dadaism – Tristan Tzara: This is a correct combination. Tristan Tzara was a Romanian and French avant-garde poet, essayist, and performance artist who was one of the primary founders and key figures of the anti-art Dada movement, which emerged in Zurich during World War I.
2. [B] Super realism – Guillaume Apollinaire: This is a correct combination. The French poet and art critic Guillaume Apollinaire coined the term "surrealism" (literally meaning "super-realism" or "beyond realism") in 1917 to describe his play Les Mamelles de Tirésias and the ballet Parade.
3. [E] Nihilism – Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev: This is a correct combination. The Russian novelist Ivan Turgenev popularized the term "nihilism" in his acclaimed 1862 novel Fathers and Sons through the character Bazarov, depicting the generational shift toward rejecting traditional authorities and values.

Let's examine why the remaining combinations are incorrect:
- [C] Surrealism – Filippo Marinetti: This is incorrect. Filippo Tommaso Marinetti was the founder and leading figure of Futurism, publishing the Manifesto of Futurism in 1909.
- [D] Futurism – André Breton: This is incorrect. André Breton was the principal founder and theoretician of Surrealism, publishing the Surrealist Manifesto in 1924.

Therefore, combinations [A], [B], and [E] are the only correct pairings, making (A), (B) and (E) the correct choice.
