Solution

The correct option is B Religious centre
Mathura has been an important settlement for more than 2500 years. It was important because it was located at the cross roads of two major routes of travel and trade — from the northwest to the east and from north to south. Mathura was also a religious centre — there were Buddhist monasteries, Jaina shrines, and it was an important centre for the worship of Krishna. Mathura was also a center of great artistic craftsmanship and the mathura school of arts produced many famous sculptures.
