Who was the son of Chandragupta Maurya?
Bindusara
Chandragupta Maurya, founder of the Maurya Empire (c. 322 BCE), was succeeded by his son Bindusara (c. 298-273 BCE), also known as Amitraghata ("slayer of foes"). Bindusara, in turn, was the father of Ashoka the Great.
Chandragupta II belonged to the later Gupta dynasty (4th-5th century CE), Ashoka was Chandragupta Maurya's grandson, and Bimbisara was a Haryanka king of Magadha who ruled long before the Mauryas. Hence the correct answer is Bindusara.
