Correct Answer: Option C
Detailed Explanation:
The chronological order of Magadha's dynasties is: Haryanka dynasty → Shishunaga dynasty → Nanda dynasty (345-321 BCE) → Maurya dynasty (321 BCE onwards).
Mahapadma Nanda, minister of the last Shishunaga king Mahanandin, overthrew him and established the Nanda dynasty around 345 BCE, which ruled until Chandragupta Maurya founded the Maurya dynasty in 321 BCE.
