Option a is the correct answer. Statement 1 is correct- The Satavahanas were a dynasty that ruled over a significant portion of western India and the Deccan region. They emerged in the 1st century BCE and their empire extended from present-day Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh to parts of Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, and Gujarat. Their capital was initially located at Pratishthana (modern-day Paithan) and later shifted to Amaravati. Statement 2 is incorrect- During the year 150 AD , the Shaka ruler Rudradaman I undertook the task of repairing the lake. Additionally, under the rule of Skandagupta of the Gupta dynasty, who reigned from 415 AD to 455 AD , the lake was once again restored by his appointed governor named Parramatta. Important Tips The initial eight lines of the Rudradaman Inscription at Junagarh provide a historical account of the renovation undertaken on the "Sudarshana Lake," originally constructed by the renowned Mauryan Emperor Chandragupta Maurya in the 4th century BC.
