Solution

The correct option is B Chandragupta Maurya
In ancient India, around the 3rd century BCE, lakes, dams and irrigation systems were extensively built during the time of Chandragupta Maurya. Similarly, in the first century BCE, the city of Sringaverapura near Allahabad had a sophisticated water harvesting system to channel the flood waters of river Ganga.
