Mahajanapadas were not all ruled in the same way. Some were monarchies, while others were gana-sanghas (oligarchies/republics). Hence option (c) is correct. Options (a), (b), and (d) are incorrect because they wrongly suggest a single common form of rule for all Mahajanapadas.

- B. Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

The correct matching is option (d): (a) to (iv), (b) to (i), (c) to (iii), and (d) to (ii). This gives the sequence iv, i, iii, ii. The other options do not match the symbols/terms correctly.
