Solution
✅ Correct Option: 1
Chandragupta Maurya came to power around 321 BCE and Asoka ruled roughly 272/268 to 231 BCE, so A and B are correct. The earliest land grant inscriptions of the Satavahanas belong to the first century BCE, so D fits.
The Mauryan Empire ended around 185 BCE, not 500-400 BCE, so C is incorrect.
