Prabhavati Gupta, the Queen Regent of the Vakataka empire, was the daughter of Kuberanaga and ______.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Chandragupta II.

Prabhavati Gupta, the Queen Regent of the Vakataka empire, was the daughter of Kuberanaga and Chandragupta II (also known as Chandragupta Vikramaditya). She married the Vakataka king Rudrasena II, and after his death, she ruled as regent for her minor sons, strengthening Gupta-Vakataka relations.

Other Options:

  1. Kumaragupta: Prabhavati's brother, not father.

  2. Chandragupta I: Founder of the Gupta Empire, too early to be her father.

  3. Skandagupta: Prabhavati's nephew or later Gupta ruler, unrelated to her lineage.

Chandragupta II was her father, as confirmed by inscriptions and historical records, linking her to the peak of Gupta power.
