Question
At which among the following places, Chandragupta Maurya spent his last days?
Options:
A .  Kashi
B .  Nalanda
C .  Shravana Belgola
D .  Ujjain
Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)
Chandragupta Maurya was the founder of the Maurya Empire.
During his last days, Chandragupta Maurya accepted Jainism and spent his last days at Shravanabelagola with Bhadrabahu.
Many scholars have taken Rice's deduction of Chandragupta Maurya retiring and dying in Shravanabelagola as the working hypothesis since no alternate historical information or evidence is available about Chandragupta's final years and death.
