C Correct answer
Explanation

Emperor Ashoka (r. 268-232 BCE) belonged to the Mauryan dynasty, founded by Chandragupta Maurya. The Mughal dynasty ruled much later (1526-1857 CE). 'Wadohar' appears to be a misspelling - possibly intended to be 'Shunga' or another dynasty. Arcot Nawabs were a regional power in much later periods. The Mauryans were one of India's greatest empires.
