Hint:

Symbol clue: Darpan means mirror or illusion, Kalash means prosperity, and Pustak means knowledge.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
Symbols in Indian art and iconography carry special meanings. Objects like mirror, ball, pot, and book are used to represent deeper ideas.

Step 1: Match Darpan.
Darpan means mirror. A mirror is related to reflection and illusion. So, \[ A \rightarrow II \]

Step 2: Match Kanduk.
Kanduk means ball. It is associated with the law of nature and movement. So, \[ B \rightarrow I \]

Step 3: Match Kalash.
Kalash is a pot symbolizing prosperity, abundance, and auspiciousness. So, \[ C \rightarrow III \]

Step 4: Match Pustak.
Pustak means book. A book symbolizes knowledge. So, \[ D \rightarrow IV \] Thus, the correct matching is: \[ A-II,\ B-I,\ C-III,\ D-IV \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(A)}} \]
