    Assess the accuracy of these historical statements:

    (I) The Shunga dynasty was the ruling dynasty in Magadha just before the establishment of the Mauryan Empire. (II) Devabhuti was the last ruler of the Shunga dynasty. Choose the correct option:
    A Only I is incorrect Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both I and II are incorrect Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only II is incorrect Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Devabhuti was indeed the last ruler of the Shunga dynasty, making statement II correct. However, the Shunga dynasty ruled Magadha after the Mauryan empire, not before. The Nanda dynasty was in power right before the Mauryan empire, which makes statement I incorrect.
