Correct Option: C
Explanation:

To determine which option is true, the user must have some basic knowledge of Indian history and Chandragupta Maurya's reign. Chandragupta Maurya was the founder of the Maurya dynasty and the first emperor to unify most of India under one administration.

A. He called his people children - This option is not true. There is no record of Chandragupta Maurya referring to his people as children.

B. He converted to Buddhism and rejected war - This option is not true. Although Chandragupta Maurya did retire from his throne and live as a Jain in his later years, there is no evidence that he converted to Buddhism or rejected war.

C. He trained women to protect his palace - This option is true. According to historical records, Chandragupta Maurya recruited and trained women to protect his palace and harem. These women were known as the "Ladies of the Chamber" and were highly skilled in archery, sword-fighting, and other forms of combat.

D. He had stone pillars set up through India with Buddhist inscriptions on them - This option is true, but it refers to the wrong emperor. It was actually Chandragupta's grandson, Emperor Ashoka, who had stone pillars set up throughout India with Buddhist inscriptions on them.

Therefore, the correct option is:

The Answer is: C. He trained women to protect his palace.
