Solution
The correct option is D Kalidasa
Kalidasa is arguably one of India’s most famous literary figures. He is known for works such as Kumarsambhava, Raghuvansham, Meghdoot, Abhigyan Shakuntalam, and Rutusamhar. It has been theorised that he was a Shaivite, an inference largely drawn from the literal translation of his name (servant of Kali), with Kali being Shiva's consort.
