Who took the throne after Chandragupta Maurya?

A Bimbisara
B Ashoka
C Bindusara
D Vishnugupta

Correct Answer: Bindusara

In 298 BCE, Chandragupta voluntarily abdicated the throne in favour of his son Bindusara, who became the new Mauryan emperor. What we know after this point seems closer to legend than an actual historical account. It is said that Chandragupta turned into an ascetic and follower of Jainism.
