Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: (d-4)

Explanation: The pair (d) Mallas – Kaspilavasst is not correctly matched; the Mallas were associated with Pāvā (Pava Puri) and Kusinagara, not Kaspilavasst. 📚 Other Information: ▪️ The Moriyas were associated with Pippalivana. ▪️ The Videhas were linked to Mithila. ▪️ The Licchavis had their capital at Vaishali. ▪️ The Mallas controlled Kusinagara and Pava, two important Mahajanapadas. ▪️ Gautama Buddha attained Mahaparinirvana at Kusinagara. ▪️ These Janapadas were part of the 16 Mahajanapadas (6th century BCE). ▪️ Their political systems were often republican or oligarchic in nature. ▪️ They played a crucial role in the rise of Buddhism and Jainism in eastern India.
