Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option ()

भरहुत एवं सांची के स्तूप की स्थापना मौर्य शासक अशोक के शासनकाल में हुई थी। धमेख स्तूप की संरचना का निर्माण मूलतः अशोक के शासनकाल में हुआ, जिसे गुप्त काल (500 ई.) में प्रतिस्थापित कर वर्तमान स्तूप बना। अमरावती स्तूप का निर्माण सातवाहन काल के समय में हुआ था। अतः भरहुत, सांची एवं धमेख स्तूप के निर्माण क्रम निर्धारित करना संभव नहीं है।

Bharhut and Sanchi stupas were constructed during the reign of Mauryan emperor Ashoka. Some historical sources also consider that Dhamekh stupa was built during the reign of Ashoka. Amaravati stupa was built during the period of Satvahanas. It is not possible to decide the chronological order of the construction of Bharhut, Sanchi and Dhamekh stupa. This question should be excluded from evaluation.
