Explanation
Kishori Amonkar was trained in the Jaipur–Atrauli tradition, Bhimsen Joshi was a leading Kirana vocalist, Bade Ghulam Ali Khan was associated with Patiala, and Kumar Gandharva placed himself in the Gwalior gharana. Thus the matches are A–3, B–2, C–1, D–4. These identify lineage associations, not restrictions preventing an artist from drawing on other traditions.
