Solution

The correct option is C Gupta
The 6th-century rock-cut Buddha sculpture in the Bamiyan valley of Afghanistan was considered the largest in the world known collectively as the Bamiyan Buddhas. These images were built in 507 CE and 554 CE under the rule of Vainyagupta and later Gupta rulers respectively.
