Solution

The correct option is A Labour
The rulers of mahajanapadas were engaged in building forts, maintaining huge armies for the protection of their territory and the subjects. They needed more resources which could be obtained from taxes. Crafts persons paid taxes in the form of labour. For e.g. a coppersmith or weaver would work for the king for a day every month.
