The correct answer is A. 1 only.

Amartya Sen is an Indian economist and philosopher who has made contributions to welfare economics, social choice theory, economic and social justice, economic theories of famines, and indexes of the measure of well-being of citizens of developing countries. He was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1998 for his work in welfare economics.

Kapila Vatsyayan was an Indian art historian, museologist, and cultural theorist. She was the founder-director of the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) in New Delhi. She was also a member of the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Indian Parliament.

Hari Prasad Chaurasia was an Indian classical musician who played the bansuri, a bamboo flute. He was one of the most influential bansuri players of the 20th century. He was awarded the Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award in India, in 1971.

Option 1 is correctly matched because Amartya Sen is an economist. Option 2 is not correctly matched because Kapila Vatsyayan was an art historian, not a sculptor. Option 3 is not correctly matched because Hari Prasad Chaurasia was a musician, not a novelist.
