Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Modern Indian theatre is distinguished by iconic productions led by directors who famously blended traditional forms with contemporary staging techniques.

Step 1: Matching the plays/productions to their directors.

• Gajab Teri Ada (A): Directed by Waman Kendre (IV), based on the play *Lysistrata*.
• Chakravyooh (B): A signature production by Ratan Thiyam (I) and the Chorus Theatre of Manipur.
• Charandaas Chor (C): The most famous production by Habib Tanvir (III), integrating Chhattisgarhi folk actors.
• Uttarraamcharitam (D): Famously directed by K.N. Panikkar (II), focusing on the reconstruction of Sanskrit dramaturgy through the Sopanam school. This results in the sequence A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II.
