Detailed Explanation & Answer
The correct answer is 4 (a and b) because both Kunapipi and Interventions are well-known journals related to the field of post-colonial literature. Here's a breakdown of why this is correct:

1. Kunapipi:
This is a journal dedicated to post-colonial writing, including literature, culture, and criticism.
It focuses on the creative and critical work of writers and thinkers from post-colonial regions, such as Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and the Pacific.
2. Interventions:
This journal explicitly focuses on post-colonial studies and theory.
It explores issues like colonial history, cultural criticism, global power dynamics, and their literary representations.

3. Why not the other options?
Daedalus: This is a journal published by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. It primarily deals with interdisciplinary scholarly topics and is not specifically focused on post-colonial literature.
Clio: This journal deals with literature and history broadly and is not specialized in post-colonial literature.
Thus, the correct pair of journals directly related to post-colonial literature is a (Kunapipi) and b (Interventions).
