Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

In the Mauryan administrative system, high-ranking officials managed specific portfolios. The Samahartri was the chief collector of revenue, responsible for maintaining accounts and overseeing the collection of taxes. The Samnidhatri (or Sannidhatri) served as the treasurer and was in charge of the royal stores and treasury. The Sansthadhyaksha (or Panyadhyaksha in some contexts) functioned as the superintendent of markets, regulating trade and commerce. The Antaravamshika was the chief of the palace guards, ensuring the security of the royal household. While some sources mention the Mahapratihara as the chief of palace guards in the later Gupta period, the Mauryan terminology specifically identifies the Antaravamshika for this role. Therefore, the correct matching is A-2, B-3, C-4, and D-1.
