Solution

The correct option is B Bindusara
Bindusara was the son of Chandragupta Maurya and father of Asoka the great. He was called Amitraghata which means slayer (ghata) of all enemies (amitra). This name was given to him because like his father Chandragupta Maurya he was also a powerful king and merciless for his enemies.
