Immanuel Kant emphasised that human beings, unlike other creatures, possess inherent dignity grounded in their rational autonomy (A-3). Mahatma Gandhi defined swaraj as self-rule beginning with rule over oneself (B-4). Subhash Chandra Bose argued that true freedom meant not only political liberation but also socio-economic equality and equal distribution of wealth (C-2). Aung San Suu Kyi famously wrote in 'Freedom from Fear' that genuine freedom is freedom from fear (D-1). Hence the correct matching is A-3, B-4, C-2, D-1.
