Correct Answer: Option B(कृत संवत्‌)
विक्रम संवत (57/58 ई.पू.) को उसके प्रारंभिक अभिलेखों में 'कृत संवत' (Krita Era) तथा बाद में 'मालव संवत' (Malava Era) के नाम से जाना जाता था। मालवा के गणराज्य (मालव गण) द्वारा प्रयोग किए जाने के कारण इसे मालव संवत कहा गया।
The Vikrama Era (57/58 BC) was originally designated in early epigraphs as the 'Krita Era' and subsequently as the 'Malava Era' because of its adoption by the republican Malava tribe in central India.
