Correct Answer
D
Mahabhashya

Explanation

Madhyama-vyayoga is one of the thirteen Sanskrit plays attributed to the ancient playwright Bhasa, focusing on a theme from the Mahabharata involving the character Bhima. While Natyashastra is a foundational text on drama often associated with this period, it was authored by Bharata Muni, not Bhasa.
