Answer & ExplanationAnswer: [D]
The Mauryan empire was considered a pyramidal structure due to the huge gap between the highest and the lowest officials. This hierarchical structure reflected the centralized and authoritarian nature of the empire.
Option D) "There was a huge gap between the highest and the lowest officials" accurately describes the pyramidal structure of the Mauryan empire. The power and authority were concentrated at the top, with the emperor holding supreme control, while lower officials and common people occupied lower positions in the hierarchy.
While options A, B, and C also provide some insights into Ashoka's policies and attitudes, they do not directly address the pyramidal structure of the Mauryan empire.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) there was a huge gap between the highest and the lowest officials.
