Solution

The correct option is A True
Most mahajanapadas had a capital city, many of these were fortified. This means that huge walls of wood, brick or stone were built around them.
The Rajas built large and tall walls around the cities in order to show their wealth and power. Moreover, with these huge walls, the Kings could easily control the land and the people living inside the fortified areas.
