Which of these religions did not practice in the mauryan empire?
a buddism
b jainism
c hinduism
d christianity

D Christianity

Explanation:

The Maurya Empire was the first unified great empire of India. Ruled by the Maurya dynasty, it lasted from 320 a. C. to 185 a. C. (probable dates), dominating all the north and center of India and some regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Taking into account the dates in which the empire was developed, we can say that the Christianity did not exist yet, and therefore it is impossible that it was practiced.

what are the options ?

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.
