Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Kumaradevi.

  • The wife of Chandragupta I was Kumardevi. She was a princess of the Licchavi clan, and her marriage to Chandragupta I is often considered a key political alliance that helped consolidate the power of the Gupta dynasty.
  • This marriage is significant because it brought the Licchavi kingdom's support, strengthening Chandragupta I's position as the ruler of the Gupta Empire. Kumardevi is also mentioned in the Allahabad Pillar Inscription, which records the achievements of Chandragupta I and his son, Samudragupta.
