The correct answer to the question is option 3, which represents the maximum extent of the Mauryan Empire.

The Mauryan Empire was one of the largest and most powerful empires in ancient India. It was founded by Chandragupta Maurya in the 4th century BCE and reached its peak under the rule of Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE.

The Mauryan Empire covered a vast area of the Indian subcontinent, including present-day India, Bangladesh, and parts of Pakistan, Nepal, and Afghanistan. It extended from the eastern coast to the western regions, with its capital at Pataliputra (modern-day Patna).

The empire`s expansion was made possible through successful military campaigns and strategic alliances. Ashoka, known for his conversion to Buddhism and promoting peace and religious tolerance, played a significant role in the empire`s growth and administration.

In conclusion, the dotted line on the map marks the maximum extent of the Mauryan Empire, showcasing its significant territorial control during ancient times.
