    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The Kushana kings adopted titles like devaputra (meaning, son of god), shahanushahi (meaning, king of kings) and kaiser (meaning, emperor). In the reign of the Satavahanas, gaulmika implied a military officer. In the Post Mauryan period, kulyavapa was a land measurement unit, which meant approximately 12 to 16 acres. Ahara, in Gupta administration, implied an administrative unit.
