Explanation:

- Correct Answer: Option 4: Sudraka

- 'Mricchakatika' (The Little Clay Cart) is an ancient Sanskrit play attributed to the playwright Sudraka. It's known for its exploration of social issues and vivid depiction of life in ancient India. The play intertwines romance and comedy with political intrigue and social commentary.

- Option 1: Raidasa

- Raidasa is not known for contributions to classical Sanskrit drama. There is little historical or literary evidence to associate him with 'Mricchakatika'.

- Option 2: Magh

- Magh was an Indian Sanskrit poet known for his epic poem 'Shishupalavadha,' not for plays like 'Mricchakatika'.

- Option 3: Kalidasa

- Kalidasa is one of ancient India's greatest Sanskrit playwrights, but his works like 'Shakuntala' and 'Meghaduta' differ in theme and style from 'Mricchakatika'.
