Solution
The correct option is C Harshcharitra
As North India reverted to small republics and small monarchical states ruled by Gupta rulers after the fall of the prior Gupta Empire, Harsha united the small republics from Punjab to central India. He established an empire that brought all of northern India under his control. The peace and prosperity that prevailed made his court a center of cosmopolitanism, attracting scholars, artists and religious visitors from far and wide.
His biography Harshacharita ("Deeds of Harsha") written by Sanskrit poet Banabhatta, describes his achievements during his reign. The Chinese traveler Hieun Tsang visited the court of Harsha, and wrote a very favorable account of him, praising his justice and generosity.
