  • A.Bimbisara
  • B.Udayin
  • C.Shisunaya
  • D.None of these

Answer: A

Ajatasatru was the son of Bimbisara.

Bimbisara of the Haryanka dynasty built up the kingdom of Magadha in the sixth century BCE. His son Ajatasatru seized the throne, by tradition imprisoning his father, and expanded Magadha further, defeating the Licchavis. Both were contemporaries of the Buddha.

Udayin was Ajatasatru's son, who founded Pataliputra. Shishunaga founded the dynasty that succeeded the Haryankas, so he came later.
