Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option D(समुद्रगुप्त)
प्रसिद्ध ब्रिटिश इतिहासकार विंसेंट आर्थर स्मिथ ने अपनी पुस्तक 'द अर्ली हिस्ट्री ऑफ इंडिया' (The Early History of India) में गुप्त सम्राट समुद्रगुप्त (335-375 ईस्वी) के अजेय सैन्य अभियानों, पराक्रम और साम्राज्य विस्तार से प्रभावित होकर उसे 'भारत का नेपोलियन' (Napoleon of India) की संज्ञा दी थी।
The renowned British historian Vincent Arthur Smith, in his seminal work 'The Early History of India', designated the Gupta emperor Samudragupta (r. c. 335–375 AD) as the 'Napoleon of India' in tribute to his undefeated military campaigns, exceptional generalship, and trans-continental conquests.
