Explanation

The correct chronological order of the ancient Indian texts is as follows:

  • Ashtadhyayi (4): Written by the grammarian Panini, this foundational work on Sanskrit grammar is generally dated to the 5th–4th century BCE.
  • Sangam Literature (3): The earliest body of Tamil literature, composed in the three assemblies, is dated between 300 BCE and 300 CE, with the earliest strata belonging to the pre-Christian era.
  • Charak Samhita (1): A principal text of Ayurveda, it was redacted by Charaka during the Kushana period, approximately in the 1st–2nd century CE.
  • Bharat's Natyashastra (2): This encyclopedic treatise on performing arts is traditionally dated between 200 BCE and 200 CE, but scholars often place its definitive compiled form around the 2nd century CE or slightly later.

Therefore, the sequence 4-3-1-2 (Option C) is the most accurate chronological arrangement.
