Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A(अमरावती में)
सातवाहनों की वास्तविक और प्रारंभिक राजधानी गोदावरी नदी के तट पर स्थित प्रतिष्ठान (पैठन, महाराष्ट्र) थी, परंतु बाद के काल में उनकी पूर्वी राजधानी अमरावती (प्राचीन धान्यकटक / धरणीकोट, आंध्र प्रदेश) बनी। चूंकि विकल्पों में पैठन नहीं है, अतः अमरावती सही उत्तर है।
The primary western capital of the Satavahanas was Pratishthana (modern Paithan on the Godavari river in Maharashtra). Later, especially in the eastern Deccan, Dhanyakataka / Amaravati (in Andhra Pradesh) served as their major political and cultural capital. Since Pratishthana is not among the options, Amaravati is correct.
