Model Answer
Option C: a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii
Bengal Gazette – James Augustus Hickey; Kesari – Bal Gangadhar Tilak; Ramcharitmanas – Tulsidas; Samvad Kaumudi – Ram Mohan Roy.
Explanation
The passage states that James Augustus Hickey edited the Bengal Gazette (from 1780), Rammohun Roy published the Sambad Kaumudi (from 1821), and the Ramcharitmanas was written by Tulsidas. Kesari is the well-known newspaper founded by Bal Gangadhar Tilak (general knowledge reinforced by the nationalist context). Option C matches all four correctly.
