Correct Answer:

Mahabharata

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Mahabharata

The "Razmnama" is a Persian translation of the Mahabharata, one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India.

Mughal chronicles such as the Akbar Nama were written in Persian, while others, like Babur’s memoirs, were translated from Turkish into Persian Babur Nama.  Translations of Sanskrit texts such as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana into Persian were commissioned by the Mughal emperors. The Mahabharata was translated as the Razmnama (Book of Wars).
