The ancient trade route known as Dakshinapatha refers to a road that connected different regions in ancient India for the purpose of trade. The correct answer to the question is option 4, which states that the Dakshinapatha connected Ajanta with Pataliputra.

Option 1, which suggests that Dakshinapatha connected Ajanta with Golconda, is incorrect. Ajanta and Golconda are located in different regions of India, and there is no historical evidence to support the claim that they were directly connected by the Dakshinapatha.

Option 2, which states that Dakshinapatha connected Europa with Muziris, is also incorrect. Europa is not an ancient Indian city or region, and Muziris was a port city in present-day Kerala, which was connected to other parts of India through separate trade routes.

Option 3, which suggests that Dakshinapatha connected Ajanta with Arikamedu, is also incorrect. While Arikamedu was an important port in ancient India, there is no evidence to suggest that it was directly connected to Ajanta through the Dakshinapatha.

Therefore, option 4 is the correct answer, as it states that Dakshinapatha connected Ajanta
