Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: c) Periplus of the Erythraean Sea.
The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea is an anonymous Greco-Roman periplus, or guide to navigation, written in the 1st century CE. It describes the coasts of the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, and the Persian Gulf, and provides information on the geography, peoples, and trade of the region.
The Periplus is an important source of information on the ancient world, and it has been used by historians to study the trade routes, economies, and cultures of the Indian Ocean region.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Arthashastra is an ancient Indian treatise on statecraft, economics, and military strategy. It was written by Kautilya, also known as Chanakya, who was a minister to the Mauryan emperor Chandragupta Maurya.
- Indica is a book written by the Greek historian Megasthenes in the 4th century BCE. It describes the geography, peoples, and customs of India.
- Mudrarakshasa is a Sanskrit play written by Vishakhadatta in the 6th century CE. It tells the story of the rise and fall of the Gupta Empire.
