    Correct answer: D

    The Atharvaveda holds spells and incantations, fitting the "Tantra and Mantra" collection (2-c), and the Yajurveda carries the sacrificial formulas, fitting the ritual "Bali sutra" collection (4-d). The Rigveda and Samaveda are both song collections, mapped to the devotional and sacred song entries (1-a and 3-b). That gives 1a, 2c, 3b, 4d.
