Solution
The correct option is D Tulsidas 'Ramcharitmanas' the Hindi Ramayana, composed by Goswami Tulsidas in the 16th century. Ramcharitmanas literally means ' Lake of the deeds of Rama'. It is considered to be one of the greatest work of Hindi literature. Tulsidas was a great Sanskrit scholar, he wanted that the general public should access the story of Rama and not just Sanskrit speaking population. This is the reason why he wrote the Ramcharitmanas in Awadhi.
