Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Grahavarman.
Rajyashri, the sister of Emperor Harshavardhana, was married to Grahavarman, the king of the Maukhari dynasty of Kanyakubja (modern Kannauj). This marriage created a strong political alliance between Harshavardhana’s family and the Maukharis during the early 7th century CE. The Maukhari dynasty was a prominent ruling power in northern India before Harsha’s empire expanded. Through this matrimonial alliance, Harshavardhana secured support and strengthened his position in the region, which was vital for his subsequent conquests and the consolidation of his empire.
