Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C (Was a council of ministers)
वैदिक काल में सभा एवं समिति नामक दो संस्थाएं राजा की निरंकुशता पर नियंत्रण रखती थीं। संभवतः सभा कुलीन या वृद्ध मनुष्यों की संस्था थी, जिसमें उच्च कुल में उत्पन्न व्यक्ति ही भाग ले सकते थे।
During the Vedic era, the two institutions namely ‘Sabha’ and ‘Samiti’ have been mentioned as the controlling powers upon the autocracy of the king. The ‘Sabha’ was the assembly of the learned and elite ones, while the ‘Samiti’ was the assembly of the common people in the state.
