Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Literary works are often associated with the civilizations that produced them. Gilgamesh, Meditation, Ramayan, and Odyssey are important works connected with different ancient cultures.

Step 1: Match Gilgamesh.
The Epic of Gilgamesh is associated with Mesopotamian civilization. So, \[ A \rightarrow III \]

Step 2: Match Meditation.
Meditation is associated with Roman civilization, especially Marcus Aurelius. So, \[ B \rightarrow II \]

Step 3: Match Ramayan.
Ramayan is one of the great epics of India. So, \[ C \rightarrow IV \]

Step 4: Match Odyssey.
Odyssey is an ancient Greek epic traditionally attributed to Homer. So, \[ D \rightarrow I \] Thus, the correct matching is: \[ A-III,\ B-II,\ C-IV,\ D-I \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(C)}} \]
