1. A. Sringara (III - Rati): Sringara Rasa (erotic mood) arises from the durable emotion of Rati (love or attraction).

2. B. Karuna (IV - Soka): Karuna Rasa (pathos or compassion) is derived from Soka (sorrow or grief).

3. C. Raudra (I - Krodha): Raudra Rasa (anger or fury) is rooted in Krodha (anger).

4. D. Adbhuta (II - Vismaya): Adbhuta Rasa (wonder) emerges from Vismaya (astonishment or surprise).
