Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option D(78 ए.डी.)
अधिकांश इतिहासकारों और लंदन सम्मेलनों (1913 व 1960) की आम सहमति के अनुसार कुषाण सम्राट कनिष्क का राज्यारोहण '78 ईस्वी' (78 AD) में हुआ था। अपने राज्यारोहण के उपलक्ष्य में ही कनिष्क ने एक नवीन संवत् चलाया जिसे 'शक संवत्' कहा जाता है।
According to the prevailing historical consensus endorsed by international conferences on Kanishka, his coronation occurred in 78 AD. To inaugurate his reign, Kanishka founded a new calendar era, known historically as the Shaka Era.
