Hint: The word meghdoot also known as Meghaduta is a Sanskrit word. It tends to be part of two sections that is, "Megha" which means Cloud, and "Duth" which means Messenger. Meghaduta The beautiful dramatization was written in the fifth century BC.

Complete Answer:
Kalidasa was a court artist at the royal residence of Gupta Ruler, Chandragupta II. He was a notable old-style addendum essayist who has composed amazing players and sonnets in the course of his life. One of his acclaimed verse works is Meghaduta. It is a sonnet comprising 120 sections and is separated into two components, Purva-Megha and Uttara-Megha.

In this verse, Kalidasa makes a story out of the detachment between or longing for a darling during the rainstorm and travel. Likely, drawn away by the impression of his young lady, a Yaksha which implies infinite orderly is discovered ignoring his obligations. He is in this way ousted and shipped off Ramgiri which is focal India miles out from his companion in Alaka. Inadequate to withstand the partition he argues a passing cloud to impart a message for his sake. As Yaksha gives direction to the cloud, the sonnet advances as the journey encounters the cloud. The depiction is so lovely outwardly, which one can unquestionably see the scenes glimmering before the eyes in a dream.

Thus, option (A) is correct.

Note:
The underlying section of the work or Purva Megha, is a geological depiction of India or Bharat Varsha in transit that the Yaksha demands that the cloud takes to show up at his old neighborhood of Alaka in the Himalayas. Where the cloud is likely going to find his better half and the message itself which is of desire and the arrival of the companion after the completion of the storm season makes up the ensuing part known as the Uttara-Megha.
