Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The Palas, The Pratiharas and The Rashtrakutas.

The Tripartite Struggle, aka The Kannauj Triangle Wars, is the struggle for the control of northern India that took place in the 8th and 9th Centuries among the Pratihara, the Pala and the Rashtrakuta Empire.

The Palas came from the Gauda area of Bengal in eastern India.

The Pratiharas, on the other hand, originated in the western Indian province of Mandor (Avanti-Jalaor).

The Rastrakutas eventually took control of India's Deccan region.
