B.Bhanumati✓ Correct
C.Nitiratnakara
D.Lohasarvasava
Explanation
Chakrapanidatta was an 11th-century Ayurvedic scholar from Bengal who wrote several important commentaries. His commentary on the Sushrut Samhita is known as 'Bhanumati'. He also wrote 'Ayurveda Dipika', a commentary on the Charaka Samhita. Sabdachandrika is a medical lexicon by Vaidya Chakrapani, Nitiratnakara is unrelated to medicine, and Lohasarvasava refers to a metallurgical preparation. Therefore, Bhanumati is the correct answer.
