The correctly matched pair is C) Ramanuja : Vishishtadvaita.

Bhakti saints were associated with various philosophical schools (Darshanas) within the broader Hindu tradition. Ramanuja is the foremost proponent of the Vishishtadvaita (qualified non-dualism) philosophy.

– Shankara (Adi Shankaracharya) is the principal exponent of Advaita Vedanta (absolute non-dualism).
– Ramananda was a Vaishnava saint from Northern India, a follower in the Ramanuja tradition, who popularized the worship of Rama. He is not specifically associated with ‘Kevaladvaita’, which is linked to Advaita.
– Chaitanya Mahaprabhu founded Gaudiya Vaishnavism and propagated the philosophy of Achintya Bheda Abheda (inconceivable difference and non-difference), distinct from Advaita.
