Explanation

Tagore matches the child is more important than all kinds of books (i-c), reflecting his freedom-centred, nature-based schooling at Santiniketan.

Vivekananda matches yoga as a method of education (ii-d), stressing concentration and man-making.

Mahatma Gandhi matches harmonious development of personality (iii-a), the integrated growth of hand, heart and head in Basic Education.

Buddhism matches the doctrine of karma (iv-b), action and its consequences guiding conduct.

The doctrine of dharma (e) stays unpaired here.

Tagore founded Visva-Bharati at Santiniketan (1921), while Gandhi's Nai Talim, the Wardha scheme, came in 1937.
