Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understand the question:
We must pick the artists known for printmaking, meaning linocut, woodcut, etching and similar methods.

Chittoprasad made powerful linocuts and woodcuts, such as those on the Bengal famine, so A is correct.

Somnath Hore also recorded the famine in prints and later worked in etching and wood-engraving, so B is correct.

S. H. Raza is known as a painter, famous for the Bindu series in oil and acrylic. He is not a printmaker, so C is wrong.

Step 5: Check Krishna Reddy:
Krishna Reddy was a master printmaker who developed the viscosity printing technique, so D is correct.

Step 6: Match with the options:
A, B and D are correct. Option 1 fits. Options 2, 3 and 4 include C, so they are wrong.

Final Answer:
The printmakers are A, B and D, which is option 1. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 1}} \]
