Explanation

Option 1 suggests that Amrita Sher-Gil is a dancer, Bhimsen Joshi is a painter, Rukmini Devi Arundale is a singer, and Suryakant Tripathi Nirala is a poet. This is incorrect as Amrita Sher-Gil is a painter, not a dancer and Bhimsen Joshi is a singer not a painter. Option 2 indicates that Amrita Sher-Gil is a painter, Bhimsen Joshi is a singer, Rukmini Devi Arundale is a dancer, and Suryakant Tripathi Nirala is a poet. This is correct as all the personalities are matched with their correct fields. Option 3 implies that Amrita Sher-Gil is a poet, and this is incorrect because Sher-Gil is recognized as a prominent painter. Option 4 also incorrectly labels Sher-Gil as a poet, making it equally incorrect as option 3. Hence, option 2 is the correct answer. It correctly matches all the famous personalities to what they are well-known as: Amrita Sher-Gil as a painter, Bhimsen Joshi as a singer, Rukmini Devi Arundale as a dancer, and Suryakant Tripath
