Explanation:

- Four lions (Option 3): This is the correct answer. The emblem of the Government of India is an adaptation of the Lion Capital of Ashoka from the Maurya dynasty. The original structure at Sarnath features four Asiatic lions standing back to back.

- Horse (Option 1): One of the animals in the original sculpture, but not specifically adopted into the main emblem.

- Words "Satyameva Jayate" (Option 2): This phrase is taken from the Mundaka Upanishad, not directly from the Maurya dynasty.

- Chariot Wheel (Option 4): The emblem includes a wheel, known as the Ashoka Chakra, but again, the lions are the central feature adopted from the Maurya dynasty.
