The correct answer is option 2, Chandragupta. The Greek ambassador Megas-thenese was in the court of Chandragupta, the ruler of the Maurya Empire in ancient India. Chandragupta Maurya was the founder of this empire and is known for his successful military campaigns and administrative abilities. He established friendly relations with various Greek kingdoms and Seleucus Nicator, a Greek general, sent Megas-thenese as an ambassador to his court. The purpose of Megas-thenese`s visit was to establish diplomatic ties and foster trade relations between the Maurya Empire and Greek kingdoms. This interaction played a significant role in promoting cultural exchange and trade between India and Greece during that time.
