DVikramshila
Correct answer: (B) Takshashila
Explanation
Chanakya is said to have composed his Arthashastra at Takshashila, a renowned ancient centre of learning.
Sarnath is linked to the Buddha's first sermon, not to this text.
Nalanda was a later Buddhist university of the Gupta era, after Chanakya's time.
Vikramshila too arose later as a Buddhist centre of learning.
Takshashila taught subjects from political science to medicine and drew scholars from afar.
The Arthashastra is a classic treatise on statecraft, economics and military strategy.
