Solution

The correct option is C Dhana Nanda
Dhana Nanda, a ruler belonging to the Nanda Dynasty, was ruling Magadha when Alexander reached the North western part of the Indian subcontinent. A popular story narrates that Chanakya had applied for a job at Dhana Nanda’s court. Instead of giving him the job, Dhana Nanda insulted Chanakya by calling him an ugly Brahmin. Chanakya vowed to drive King Dhana Nanda out of power.
