Question
Expansion of agricultural land took place on the largest scale in which period ?
Options:
A .  Mauryan age
B .  Pre-Mauryan age
C .  Gupta age
D .  Post-Mauryan age
Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)
Expansion of agricultural land took place on the largest scale in the Gupta age. The degeneration of the Vaisya’s (the third, or trader caste), which had begun earlier, intensified during this period.
Because of advanced agricultural techniques and developments in handicrafts, the condition of the Sudra’s (the fourth, or menial caste) improved and there was no great difference between a poor Vaisya and a prosperous Sudra.
