This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Kadambari

Banabhatta was the court poet of King Harshavardhana in the 7th century CE. He wrote Harshacharita, a biography of Harsha, and Kadambari, a celebrated Sanskrit prose romance.

Kadambari was left unfinished by Banabhatta and was completed by his son Bhushanabhatta.

Dhatupatha is a list of verbal roots associated with Panini's grammar, while Ritusamhara and Raghuvamsha were written by Kalidasa. So the text written by Banabhatta is Kadambari.

Hence, Kadambari.
