Correct Answer: stranger


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation :

In the given context, the correct choice is someone unfamiliar or unknown, represented by the term "stranger." The passage suggests that the king selected someone unknown to lead the people to the treasury. This choice aligns with the narrative and the subsequent action of the Brahmin shaking off the man's hand, emphasising the unfamiliarity of the chosen person.
