Solution :
The correct option is A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II.
Let us match the poets in List I with their respective works in List II:
1. Yasmine Gunaratna (A) - This language, this woman (IV)
Yasmine Gooneratne (often spelled Gunaratna) is a prominent Sri Lankan poet and academic. One of her well-known poems is "This Language, This Woman", which explores themes of language, identity, and gender. Therefore, A matches with IV.
2. Imtiyaz Dharkar (B) - Post card from God (III)
Imtiaz Dharkar is a celebrated British-Indian poet. Her debut poetry collection is titled Postcards from god (published in 1989), which features drawings by the poet herself and deals with themes of religion, search for meaning, and cultural displacement. Therefore, B matches with III.
3. Agha Shahid Ali (C) - Postcard from Kashmir (I)
Agha Shahid Ali was a highly acclaimed Kashmiri-American poet. His famous opening poem in the collection The Half-Inch Himalayas is "Postcard from Kashmir". Note that due to a typographical error in the provided question table, the entry for item [I] in List II is erroneously duplicated as "[II] Advice to women". In a standard matching list, item [I] corresponds to "Postcard from Kashmir" or a similar work by Agha Shahid Ali. Therefore, C matches with I.
4. Eunice de Souza (D) - Advice to women (II)
Eunice de Souza was an influential Indian English poet and novelist. One of her most famous and widely anthologized poems is "Advice to Women", which uses irony to comment on gender relations and coping mechanisms. Therefore, D matches with II.
