The correct choice is Cervantes. More precisely, the stage musical Man of La Mancha was written by playwright Dale Wasserman , with lyrics by Joe Darion and music by Mitch Leigh, and it was based on the novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes.

So, among the options “Nostradamus, Cervantes, Molière, Shakespeare,” the intended answer is Miguel de Cervantes.
