Answer C.

A.A Combined dash of realism and history, well-known journalist, poet and author, -- definitely wrong - "a combined dash of realism (...) appears to be a subject but of which verb? Mamang dai is the subject of our sentence

B.The Combined dash of realism and history, well-known journalist, poet and author, -- wrong, based on the same rationale as A's.

C.Combining a dash of realism and history, well-known journalist, poet and author, -- our winner

D.Combined with a dash of realism and history, well-known journalist, poet and author, -- Mamang Dai is not combined with a dash of realism and history, it is her novel/the way she brings in the region in her new novel

E.Combining dashes of realism with that of history, well-known journalist, poet and author, -- Wrong - the signal here was the way they use "dashes of realism with that of history" - it should have been with "those of history"

You will notice that I am totally assuming Mamang Dai is a woman :)
