Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The second option is the correct answer.

Populous is an adjective that describes a place or region with a large population.

Populist is both a noun and an adjective. It means a person or an idea that is popular among the people.

Popular is an adjective that describes something that is liked, admired, or enjoyed by a lot of people.

Populance is not a standard English word.

Hence, the correct answer is: "The new book written by Vikram Seth has become very popular. "
