The term "Yavanapriya" is made up of two Sanskrit words, "Yavana" referring to Greeks and "priya" meaning loved. Ancient Sanskrit texts used this term to denote the commodity loved by the Greeks from India, and that was pepper. Hence, option 4 is the correct answer. Let`s explore the other options as well:

Option 1 suggests that "Yavanapriya" referred to a fine variety of Indian muslin, which is not correct, although Indian muslin was indeed traded extensively with many regions.

Option 2 proposes that the term denoted ivory. While ivory was a popular trade item, it wasn`t specifically the term "Yavanapriya".

Option 3 contends that "Yavanapriya" related to damsels sent to Greek courts for dance performances. This seems like a misinterpretation or confusion, as no standard references support this claim.

So, "Yavanapriya" was an ancient term for black pepper, reflecting its importance in Indo-Greek trade.
