Who wrote "The Prince"?

Sigmund Freud
Niccolò Machiavelli
Plato
Thomas Hobbes

The correct answer is: Niccolò Machiavelli

"The Prince" was written by Niccolò Machiavelli, not by Sigmund Freud, Plato, or Thomas Hobbes. While all four individuals were influential philosophers and thinkers, only Niccolò Machiavelli is credited as the author of "The Prince". Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist, Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher, and Thomas Hobbes was an English political philosopher. None of these individuals wrote "The Prince". Therefore, the correct answer is Niccolò Machiavelli.
