Solution
The correct option is A Kosambi
The earliest reference to the Magadha people occurs in the Atharvaveda, where they are found listed along with the Angas, Gandharis and Mujavats. The core of the kingdom was the area of Bihar south of the Ganges; its first capital was Rajgriha (modern Rajgir), then Pataliputra (modern Patna). Girivraja was another name for Rajgriha. Kosambi was not the capital of the Magadhan empire.
