Solution

The correct option is A Vedic tradition
Satavahana dynasty belonged to the Andhra jati and was the first Deccanese dynasty to build an empire in daksinapatha—i.e., the southern region. Their rule began in the first century BCE and lasted until the second century CE. Satavahanas were Hindus and claimed Brahmanical status. Buddhism also flourished during this period due to generous donations made by the kings.
