Solution
The correct option is A Samanta
From the eighth century onwards, a samanta or, in later times, a zamindar built a fortified palace in or near the towns. They levied taxes on traders, artisans and articles of trade and sometimes donated the right to collect these taxes to local temples, which had been built by themselves or by rich merchants. These rights were recorded in inscriptions that have survived to this day.
