Which of the following given combinations represents only the properly matched pairs?
- A(a - 1), (b - 2), (c - 3)
- B(d - 4)
- C(c - 3), (d - 4)
- DAll of the above
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's evaluate the ancient clans and their capitals:
* Moriyas of Pippalivana is correctly matched (a - 1).
* Videhas of Mithila is correctly matched (b - 2).
* Licchavis of Vaishali is correctly matched (c - 3).
* The Mallas had their capitals at Kusinara and Pava, whereas Kapilavastu was the capital of the Sakyas. Thus, pair (d - 4) is incorrect.
Hence, the correct option showing only true matches is A.
