Solution
The correct option is B Shatavahana Kulayashapratishtapanakara
It was during the first half of the 2nd century A.D. that the Satavahana power once again rose into eminence in the South led by a king named Gautamiputra Satakarni.
He raised the prestige of the Satavahana Dynasty to a new height and came to be regarded as its greatest monarch.
Gautamiputra was described in his inscriptions as the destroyer of the Sakas, Pahlavas and Yavanas. He was also mentioned as the ‘Lord of the Western Vindhyas’.
For his valor and administrative qualities, he was given the title of Satavahana Kulayashapratishtapanakara.
