A. most villagers refused to enforce the caste system

B. most villages were self-sufficient economically

C. most villages remained isolated and free of influence from other villages

D. all of these are correct

Answer 1

The true statement about the villages under both the Maurya and the Gupta is that:

"most villages remained isolated and free of influence from other villages."

• Though the Maurya empire is considered to be strong at the center, the villages are, however, free from influence from other villages.
• Similarly, the Gupta empire was designed to be ruled by local rulers, as it was decentralized from the center.
• On the other hand, both empires promote the caste system, and none of the empires has villages that are self-sufficient economically.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is option C. "most villages remained isolated and free of influence from other villages."
