Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C(कण्व)
73 ई.पू. में शुंग वंश के अंतिम राजा देवभूति की हत्या उसके आमात्य वासुदेव ने कर मगध पर 'कण्व' (काण्वायन) राजवंश की स्थापना की। शुंगों की भांति कण्व शासक भी ब्राह्मण जाति के थे और उन्होंने लगभग 45 वर्षों तक (73 ई.पू. से 28 ई.पू.) शासन किया।
In 73 BC, the last Shunga monarch Devabhuti was overthrown by his Brahmin minister Vasudeva, who established the Kanva dynasty in Magadha. Like the Shungas, the Kanvas were of Brahmanical descent and ruled for roughly 45 years until c. 28 BC.
