Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Vijnaneswara is the author of the Mitakshara, a commentary on the Yajnavalkya Smriti and the foundation of the Mitakshara school. The other named writers are not its authors. Historical judgments expressly identify Vijnaneswara in discussing that text; the question concerns authorship rather than an unchanged modern rule of succession.
