Noting down the given information, we get:
Poets: 4, Novelist:3, Dramatists:3
1 Bengali, 2 Hindi, 2 Marathi, 1 Tamil
2 from 17th century, 3 from 19th century and 1 from 20th century.
Looking at the clues, we are given: "The 20th-century writer wrote poetry only and contributed to Marathi literature, and the other Marathi writer contributed to poetry, novel and drama."
We can start with the century as our initial parameter:
One Hindi writer, and the only Tamil writer belonged to the 19th century.
Since we are given that one Hindi writer belonged to the 19th century, the other must be from the 17th century.
The former contributed to poetry and novel while the latter to novel and drama.
The Bengali writer belonged to the 17th century and contributed to poetry only.
This would mean that the last Marathi writer is from the 19th century.
The last two lines tell us that A was a writer from the 20th century.
C was a Marathi writer; hence, it must be the one from the 19th century.
We are given that B wrote Drama only, the only possibility left is that B were the 17th century Hindi writer.
D was the Hindi Poet and novelist, and since E was from 19th century as well, he must be the Tamil novel and drama writer. Leaving F as the Bengali writer.
Looking at their art forms as well, C must be Poet, Novelist and Dramatist, giving the final configuration as:
F was the Bengali writer, therefore, Option D is the correct answer.
