D Correct answer
Explanation

Both statements are false. Chanakya (Kautilya) was the prime minister of Chandragupta Maurya, not Ashoka. Ashoka sent Buddhist missions to various regions, but Suvarnagiri was actually a mining center and administrative headquarters mentioned in his edicts, not a destination for religious missions.
