Answer: Option D
Answer: (d)
The victory over Seleucus was achieved in about 305 B.C. The Greek writers do not give details of the war but state that a treaty was concluded in which Seleucus conceded the territories of Kandahar, Kabul, Herat and Baluchistan and Chandragupta presented him 500 elephants.
It is also stated that this also led to the matrimonial alliance between the two – perhaps Seleucus married his daughter to Chandragupta Maurya or to his son Bindusara.
