C Correct answer
Explanation

Seleukos Nikator (Seleucus I Nicator), one of Alexander's generals who ruled parts of Asia after Alexander's death, married his daughter to Chandragupta Maurya as part of a diplomatic alliance around 305 BCE. This also led to Seleucus ceding territories to Chandragupta. Ptolemaius, Diomedes, and Clitus are not associated with this marriage alliance.
