In the Mauryan Empire, the head of a district was known as the "Rajuka." The Rajuka held multiple important roles within their jurisdiction. Firstly, they served as the principal coordinator of revenue, which means they were responsible for overseeing the collection and management of taxes and other financial resources. Their role also extended to the general administration of the district, including the maintenance of law and order and the management of military functions. The Rajuka had the authority to make decisions and carry out policies on behalf of the Mauryan Empire in their respective districts.

While the other options might sound similar or have certain administrative roles in other contexts, they do not specifically refer to the head of a district during the Mauryan Empire.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, "Rajuka."
