Answer: B

The Nanda kings in chronological order, following the Buddhist tradition of the Mahabodhivamsa, are Ugrasena, Panduka, Govishanaka and Dhana, which is (c), (b), (a), (d), option B. Dhana, the last, is the Dhana Nanda whom Chandragupta Maurya overthrew.

Options A and D put Panduka before Ugrasena or Govishanaka last, and option C puts Govishanaka first. None of them ends with Dhana as the last king except A and B, and A reverses the first pair.
