Answer:

A. Pradeshika

Read Explanation:

In the Maurya Empire, district administration was overseen by a team of three officials: the Pradesika (head of district administration), Rajuka (responsible for revenue and judiciary), and Yukta (accountants). In District administration each district was administered by 3 officers viz. Pradeshika Rajuka & Yukta. Pradeshika was senior and Rajuka was subordinate. Yukta was subordinate to both of them. The district administration was under the charge of Rajukas whose position and functions are similar to modern collectors. He was assisted by Yuktas or subordinate officials. The rajjuka was responsible for surveying and assessing the land fixing its rent and record keeping besides judicial function
