The correct answer is option 4, Mundaka Upanishad. The words `Satyameva Jayate` in the State Emblem of India have been adopted from Mundaka Upanishad. Upanishads are ancient texts of spiritual and philosophical teachings in Hinduism. The Mundaka Upanishad is one of the oldest and most important Upanishads.

The phrase is considered to be a guiding principle for the citizens of India and reflects the values of honesty and integrity. It is also part of the national motto of India.

Option 1, Brahma Upanishad, and option 2, Mudgala Upanishad, are not correct answers. Option 3, Maitreyi Upanishad, is also incorrect.

In conclusion, the words `Satyameva Jayate` in the State Emblem of India have been adopted from Mundaka Upanishad, emphasizing the significance of truth in life.
