Answer »Answer: (a)
The greatest of the military achievements of Chandragupta II was his war against the Saka satraps of western India. Rudrasimha III, the last ruler of the Saka satrap was defeated, dethroned and killed. His territories in western Malwa and the Kathiawar Peninsula were annexed into the Gupta Empire.
After this victory, he performed the horse-sacrifice and assumed the title Sakari, meaning, ‘destroyer of Sakas’. He gave his daughter Prabhavati in marriage to the Vakataka prince Rudrasena II.
