Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C(महेंद्र)
प्रयाग प्रशस्ति की 19वीं-20वीं पंक्ति में समुद्रगुप्त द्वारा दक्षिणापथ के पराजित 12 राजाओं की सूची मिलती है, जिसमें सबसे पहला नाम 'कौसलक महेंद्र' (दक्षिण कोसल का राजा महेंद्र) उल्लिखित है। समुद्रगुप्त ने उसे पराजित कर धर्मविजयी नीति के तहत मुक्त कर दिया था।
