Correct Answer: Chandragupta Maurya


Solution : The correct answer is Chandragupta Maurya .

Chandragupta Maurya, encouraged by his instructor (and later minister) Kautilya (Chanakya), toppled the Nanda dynasty. Chandragupta is identified as a Nanda family member in certain reports. Kshemendra and Somadeva, for instance, refer to Chandragupta as a "son of the genuine Nanda" (Purva-Nanda-Suta) in their descriptions of him from the eleventh century.
