Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B (Dhanananda)

नंद वंश का अंतिम शासक धनानंद था, जो सिकंदर का समकालीन था। उसे यूनानी लेखकों ने 'अग्रमीज' कहा है। जेनोफोन उसे 'बहुत धनाढ्य व्यक्ति' बताता है। भद्दशाल उसका सेनापति था।

There were eight inheritors of Mahapadmananda found in Puranas and Buddhist texts. Dhanananda was the last ruler of this dynasty who was also a contemporary of Alexander. Greek writers referred him as Agrammese. Xenophon describes him as a wealthy person. Bhaddasala was his commander.
