Explanation:

- Chandra Gupta Maurya: He was the founder of the Mauryan Empire but is not credited with the construction of the Sanchi Stupa.

- Samprati: There is no historical record of a Mauryan king named Samprali. The name might be confused with Samprati, a ruler from the later period associated with Jainism.

- Ashoka: He was a prominent Mauryan ruler who embraced Buddhism after the Kalinga War. Ashoka is known for constructing several stupas across India, and the Sanchi Stupa is traditionally attributed to him.

- Bindusara: He was the son of Chandra Gupta Maurya and father of Ashoka. There are no records linking Bindusara to the construction of the Sanchi Stupa.
