Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B(उपज का छठा भाग)
गुप्त काल में सामान्यतः भूमि राजस्व (भू-कर) की मानक दर कुल उपज का छठा भाग (1/6 भाग या षष्ठांश) होती थी। गुप्त अभिलेखों में भूमि कर को 'उद्रंग' और 'भाग' कहा गया है और राजा को 'षष्ठांशावृत्ति' (उपज का छठा भाग लेने वाला) कहा गया है।
During the Gupta era, the customary land tax assessed on agricultural yield was typically one-sixth (1/6th) of the produce. In contemporary inscriptions, land revenue is referred to as 'Udranga' or 'Bhaga', and the king was styled as 'Shashthanshabhrit' (recipient of the customary royal sixth).
