What type of system was necessary to manage the vast Mauryan Empire?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Strong administrative system
A large empire required officials, provincial administration, taxation, communication, military organisation and systems for enforcing royal orders. Mauryan sources and inscriptions suggest an extensive administrative structure, though its exact degree of central control varied across regions. Folk songs or cave dwelling could not manage territory, and an empire necessarily required governance.
