A Correct answer
Explanation

The Tibetan Buddhist historian Taranatha (1575-1634) wrote in his 'History of Buddhism in India' that Bindusara conquered territories 'between the two seas' (likely referring to the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, indicating peninsular India). While earlier historians like the Mahavamsa author may have noted Bindusara's southern conquests, Taranatha is specifically credited with this geographic description.
