Caramel ish correct
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze each option and see which one applies to both the Maurya and Gupta empires:
A. Both empires united diverse peoples within their empires.
The Maurya Empire, under Emperor Ashoka, did indeed unite diverse peoples within its empire by promoting a policy of religious tolerance and fostering a sense of unity among the different regions. However, the Gupta Empire did not have the same level of diversity or the same centralized political control.
B. Both empires fought bitterly against Buddhism.
This statement is not accurate. While the Maurya Empire was initially founded by Chandragupta Maurya, who was not a follower of Buddhism, his grandson Ashoka converted to Buddhism and actively promoted its teachings. On the other hand, the Gupta Empire was known for its support of Hinduism and other indigenous Indian faiths and did not engage in any significant conflicts against Buddhism.
C. Both empires had a loose government structure that gave power to individual villages.
This statement is not accurate as well. The Maurya Empire was characterized by a highly centralized government system with a strong monarchy under the rule of Emperor Ashoka. The Gupta Empire, while it did grant some local autonomy to its provinces, still had a more centralized governance structure compared to individual villages having significant power.
D. Both empires developed a type of decimal system.
This statement is accurate. Both the Maurya and Gupta empires made significant contributions to the development of a decimal numeral system in India. The numerical digits we use today (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) are often referred to as Arabic numerals but were actually derived from the Indian numeral system, which was developed during the Gupta period.
Based on the analysis, it is clear that the correct answer is option D. Both the Maurya and Gupta empires developed a type of decimal system.
