Correct Answer: Option C (Udayin)

वस्तुतः पाटलिपुत्र की स्थापना गंगा एवं सोन नदी के संगम पर हर्यंक वंशीय शासक अजातशत्रु ने की थी एवं सर्वप्रथम उदयिन ने राजधानी राजगृह से पाटलिपुत्र स्थानांतरित की थी।

Pataliputra was established by Ajatashatru, the ruler of Haryanka dynasty. Udayin transferred the capital from Rajgriha to Pataliputra. But Udayin is not mentioned in the above options. Here, Chandragupta Maurya will be the correct answer.
