The correct option is D Brahminism
The Shunga Empire was an ancient Indian dynasty from Magadha that controlled areas of the central and eastern Indian subcontinent from around 187 to 78 BCE. The Shunga dynasty was a Brahmin dynasty, Pushyamitra Shunga(founder and first ruler of the Shunga Empire), persecuted Buddhists and contributed to a resurgence of Brahmanism that forced Buddhism outwards to Kashmir, Gandhara, and Bactria.
