    A Indraprastha Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Taxila Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Tosali Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Ujjayini Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Based on Ashokan Inscriptions, the four provincial centers of the Mauryan Empire were Taxila (north), Ujjayini (west), Suvarnagiri (south), and Tosali (east). Indraprastha, located in present-day Delhi, is famous as the capital of the Pandavas in the Mahabharata epic. However, there is no evidence that it served as a Mauryan provincial center, and it is not mentioned in Ashokan Inscriptions as such.
