Choose from the following the novel written by Salman Rushdie.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. The Satanic Verses
"The Satanic Verses" is a controversial novel written by British-Indian author Salman Rushdie, first published in 1988. The book draws inspiration from the life of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and historical events, but its fictionalized account led to widespread controversy and accusations of blasphemy from some Muslim communities, resulting in a fatwa being issued against Rushdie. The other options are novels by V.S. Naipaul (In a Free State, A Bend in the River) and Naipaul again (An Area of Darkness is a non-fiction book about India).
