The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Chandragupta Maurya.

• The Seleucid-Mauryan War was fought between 305 and 303 BC.
• It was fought between Seleucus and Chandragupta Maurya.
• The war ended in a settlement resulting in the annexation of the Indus Valley region and part of Afghanistan to the Mauryan Empire, with Chandragupta securing control over the areas that he had sought, and a marriage alliance between the two powers.
• After the war, the Mauryan Empire emerged as the dominant power of the Indian subcontinent, and the Seleucid Empire turned its attention toward defeating its rivals in the West.
