Ans: (c) Milinda
Explanation: Among the given options, Milinda was not a contemporary of the other three individuals: Bimbsara, Gautama Buddha, and Prasenjit.
Bimbsara, also known as King Bimbisara, was a ruler of the Magadha Kingdom during the 6th century BCE. Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, was alive during the same time period as Bimbsara. Prasenjit, also known as King Prasenajit, was another ruler of Magadha who was a contemporary of both Bimbsara and Gautama Buddha.
On the other hand, Milinda, also known as Menander, was a Greek king who ruled the Indo-Greek kingdom during the 2nd century BCE. Milinda lived several centuries after Bimbsara, Gautama Buddha, and Prasenjit. His reign occurred much later in history, and he was not a contemporary of the other three mentioned individuals.
Therefore, the correct answer to your question is (c) Milinda.
