Explanation & Solution
In ancient historical geography, the prosperous, fertile territory situated immediately to the south of the River Ganga was known as Magadha, while areas further south were ruled by the Chedis or designated as Dakshinapatha. Because Magadha is not among the listed choices (Takshashila was in the northwest, Chola in the south, Anarta in Gujarat), 'None of the above' is correct.
