Answer 1

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2


The Kushanas followed the system of dvai rule. The divine right of kings, or divine-right theory of kingship, is a political and religious doctrine of royal and political legitimacy. It asserts that a monarch is subject to no earthly authority, deriving his right to rule directly from the will of God.
