Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C(उज्जैन)
कालिदास के 'मालविकाग्निमित्रम' तथा अन्य साहित्यिक स्रोतों के अनुसार शुंग राजवंश के पूर्वज मूलतः मालवा क्षेत्र में 'उज्जैन' (अवंति) के निवासी थे। मौर्य काल में शुंग परिवार के सदस्य उज्जैन और विदिशा में उच्च प्रशासनिक पदों पर कार्यरत थे। पुष्यमित्र के पुत्र अग्निमित्र विदिशा के उपराजा (गोप्ता) थे।
According to Kalidasa's drama 'Malavikagnimitram' and historical traditions, the ancestors of the Shungas hailed originally from Ujjain (Avanti in Malwa). In the Mauryan service, they held important ministerial and military positions in the Malwa region; Pushyamitra's son Agnimitra served as viceroy at Vidisha.
