Solution

The correct option is C Megasthenes
Chandragupta Maurya faced challenges from the Greeks under the leadership of Alexander’s general Seleucus. Chandragupta defeated Seleucus and both of them entered into a treaty. Megasthenes was Seleucus’ envoy who remained in India and wrote his account called ‘Indica’, which talks about the Mauryan polity and society.
