The correct option is A Kujula kadphises
The founder of the Kushan dynasty was Kujala Kadphises. He was the first Yueh Chi chief who crossed the Hindukush Mountains and laid down the foundation of the Kushana Empire. His successor was Vima Kadphises who conquered a large part of north India. The coins of Kadphises show that his authority extended up to Banaras and also till Indus basin.
