Solution

The correct option is A True
Warriors and priests, i.e., the Kshatriyas and the Brahmanas, were exempted from payment of taxes, and the burden fell on on the peasants who were mainly vaishyas or 'grihapatis'. During the period of Mahajanapadas. It seems that one-sixth of the produce was collected as tax by the king from the peasants.
