The pair Kalhana : Rajatarangini is correctly matched. Kalhana was a Kashmiri historian who wrote Rajatarangini (River of Kings), a chronicle of the kings of Kashmir, in the 12th century.

Rajatarangini is considered one of the earliest examples of historical writing in India that attempted a systematic chronological account, although it includes mythological elements alongside historical events.

Banabhatta wrote Harshacharita and Kadambari. Sandhyakar Nandi wrote Ramacharitam (about Pala king Ramapala). Chand Bardai wrote Prithviraj Raso, while Jayanka wrote Prithvirajavijaya. Padmagupta (Parimala) wrote Navasahasankacharita. Banabhatta wrote Harshacharita. Therefore, option B is the only correct match.
