Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C (Sitadhyaksha)

मौर्य काल में 'सीताध्यक्ष' कृषि भूमि का अध्यक्ष था, वही भूमि कर वसूलने का कार्य करता था, जबकि 'अग्रोनोमोई/एग्रोनोमोई' जिले के अधिकारियों को कहा जाता था, 'शुल्काध्यक्ष' विभिन्न प्रकार के व्यवसाय एवं व्यापार कर वसूलता था तथा 'अक्राध्यक्ष' (आकाराध्यक्ष) खानों का नियंत्रण करता था। अतः विकल्प (c) सही उत्तर है।

Sitadhyaksha was the head of agricultural land in the Mauryan empire, and he also dealt with land revenue levitation while Agronomoi were known as district officers. Shulkadhyaksha used to collect various trade and service taxes and Akradhyaksha controlled mines. So, option (c) is the correct answer.
