Answer 1

Explanation:

The Mauryas tried to control roads and rivers. These were important for transport and to collect whatever resources were available as tax and tribute. For example, the Arthashastra (the famous literary work of Kautilaya or Chanakya) tells us that the north¬west was important for blankets and south India for its gold and precious stones.
