What effect did modernizing the army have on Maharaja Ranjit Singh's power in Punjab?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The military capacity of the centralized Sikh state increased

The direct answer is A: modernizing the army increased the military capacity of the centralized Sikh state. Maharaja Ranjit Singh ruled a powerful Sikh kingdom in Punjab and reorganized the army with improved training, discipline, weapons, and methods influenced by contemporary military practice. Step by step, a better-trained army could obey the central authority more effectively; it could defend territory, suppress challenges, and expand or maintain the ruler's influence. Thus army modernization strengthened state power. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because the Mauryan Empire belonged to a much earlier period and was not created by Ranjit Singh. Option C is unrelated to his Punjab policy and the Cholas. Option D concerns the Gupta period and has no connection with this event. Exam cue: connect an organized modern army with stronger central authority.
