Who wrote The Prince?

  1. Raphael

  2. Donatello

  3. Masaccio

  4. Machiavelli

The correct answer is: Machiavelli

The other options, A, B, and C, are all famous visual artists from the Italian Renaissance, but they did not write books. Machiavelli, on the other hand, was a well-known political philosopher and writer during the same time period and is the author of The Prince. Therefore, it is most likely that he wrote the book.
