Correct Answer:

Chanakaya

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4- Chanakaya

- The Arthashastra is a Sanskrit book on statecraft, political science, economic policy, and military strategy written in ancient India.

- The text's (Arthashastra) author is typically assigned to Kautilya, also known as Vishnugupta and Chanakya.
