Complete answer:

Nanda tradition, a family that governed Magadha, in northern India, between c. 343 and 321 BCE. The Nanda line promptly went before the administration of the Mauryas, and, similarly as with all pre-Maurya lines, what is thought about it is a combination of reality and legend.

Additional Information
There is a story that Chanakya vowed to take revenge on Dhananda. The Buddhist story says that:-
When Chanakya was a child, he had canine teeth.
An adult Chanakya went to a contribution giving function held by King Dhanananda at Pushpapuri. Chanakya likewise had screwy feet. His appearance was not satisfying to Dhanananda's eyes, so he had Chanakya ousted.
A furious Chanakya promised vengeance and figured out how to dodge capture by disappearing to the wilderness. In the forest, he came across Chandragupta Maurya and trained him. With his help, Chanakya took his revenge.

Hence the correct answer is option B.
