 C. Veer Savarkar – An Echo from Andamans

Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (Veer Savarkar) wrote "An Echo from Andamans", which is a collection of his experiences as a political prisoner in the Cellular Jail of the Andaman Islands. It reflects his revolutionary zeal and the suffering of Indian freedom fighters under British rule.

 D. Swami Vivekananda – Preface to Raja-Yoga

Incorrect 

 A. Kautilya – Dharamshastra
Incorrect.
Kautilya (Chanakya) is the author of the Arthashastra, not the Dharamshastra. The Arthashastra is a treatise on statecraft, economics, and military strategy. Dharamshastra refers to religious and moral laws, more associated with authors like Manu (Manusmriti).

 E. Rabindranath Tagore – Tarana-e-Hind
Incorrect.
"Tarana-e-Hind" (also known as "Saare Jahan Se Achha") was composed by Muhammad Iqbal, not Rabindranath Tagore. Tagore’s notable patriotic composition is "Jana Gana Mana", which became the National Anthem of India.
