Xuan Zang

The correct answer is Option (2) → Xuan Zang

XUAN ZANG was the Chinese traveller/scholar who visited the Patliputra city in 7th century CE, he found it in ruins and with small population.

History of Pataliputra: Each city had a history of its own. Pataliputra, for instance, began as a village known as Pataligrama. Then, in the fifth century BCE, the Magadhan rulers decided to shift their capital from Rajagaha to this settlement and renamed it. By the fourth century BCE, it was the capital of the Mauryan Empire and one of the largest cities in Asia. Subsequently, its importance apparently declined. When the Chinese pilgrim Xuan Zang visited the city in the seventh century CE, he found it in ruins, and with a very small population.
