Solution
The correct option is D 326 BC
According to all surviving ancient historical sources, King Alexandros III of Macedonia (most commonly known in English as “Alexander the Great”) defeated King Porus (whose name is conjectured to have been Puru in his native tongue) of the Indian kingdom of Paurava in the Battle of the Hydaspes in May 326 BC. Hence, Option A is correct.
