Answer: A

Explanation:

The Treaty of Purushapura was a peace treaty signed between Chandragupta Maurya and Seleucus I, a Greek general and ruler, in the 3rd century BCE. Because Chandragupta Maurya defeated him, Seleucus was forced to sign a treaty with him. This treaty required him to hand over eastern Afghanistan, Baluchistan, and areas west of the Indus to Chandragupta. He married his daughter to Chandragupta. In exchange, he received 500 war elephants.
