The Arthashastra is an ancient indian document that promoted specific guidelines for political, military and economic leaders to follow in order to rule effectively, the first of which was Chandragupta.

The correct answers are:

B) "Do whatever is necessary to keep power": The King, ideally, should be fair to his people and by any means work to preserve their well-being. However generous his treatment was, Chandragupta recognized that in any society, not all people were trust-worthy. In order to keep it all under control, he actually employed spies to watch both the people and the public figures in charge. This is one of many examples that illustrate the length of resources advocated to keep power. (Also refuting options "A" and "D").

C) "Give harsh punishments for crimes": The Arthashastra was adamant about the necessity of giving criminals the harshest possible punishments, specially when the nature of said crimes harmed the country at large.

E) "Respect animals and harm none": This is based on the practice of the core value known in hindu culture as Ahimsa ("not to injure" and "compassion). Every life must be protected by the King, human and animal life alike.
