Solution
The correct option is B Vishnugopa
King Vishnugopa of Pallava dynasty was defeated and then liberated by Samudra Gupta, the emperor of Magadha, about the middle of the 4th century CE during Samudragupta's southern conquests.
Samudragupta marched along the south-eastern coast of India, advancing as far as the Pallava kingdom. The Allahabad Pillar inscription, composed by his courtier Harishena, says that instead of annexing Vishnugopa's territories to his growing empire, he liberated and reinstated Vishnugopa as the ruler of Kanchi.
