Answer 2

Answer:

Concept:

     Das was able to communicate clearly in both Malayalam and English thanks to her bilingualism. She published novels and poetry in Malayalam. Additionally, her audacious autobiography was initially released in her native tongue.

Explanation:

• One of the most well-known feminists of the postcolonial era was Kamala Das. She wrote in both English and Malayalam, her native language. She wrote under the pen names Madhavi kutty and Kamala Das for her Malayalam and English readers, respectively.
• She was a feminist in many respects, despite the fact that she never declared or officially affiliated with the feminist movement. By consistently rebelling against the system with her labor, she never allowed anyone stop her from pursuing her goals. She made a place for herself where she could exercise her freedom of choice.
• In "An Introduction," Das delves deeply into the important issues of feminism/equal rights, freedom, and marriage. This poem strongly supports women's right to free choice and makes a very obvious feminist argument. This applies to all facets of life, but the poet emphasizes marriage in particular.
• Being Indian, she is portrayed in her poetry as an outsider who represents her own city through the scenic use of idioms, terminology, and imagery of men and women with an emphasis on emotions. She is a significant poet of Indian poetry in English because of her rich symbolic language that expresses Indianness.

Hence option C is correct.
