(a) Kumaragupta
(b) Skandagupta
(c) Bhanugupta
(d) Narasimhagupta
Ans: (b) Skandagupta
Explanation:
The Gupta emperor who, in his Bhitari and Junagarh inscriptions, claimed victory over the Hunas is (b) Skandagupta.
Skandagupta was one of the Gupta emperors who ruled during the late 5th century CE. He is known for his military prowess and successful defense against the invading Hunas, a nomadic Central Asian tribe. Skandagupta’s inscriptions at Bhitari and Junagarh provide evidence of his victories over the Hunas and his efforts to protect the Gupta Empire from their incursions.
Skandagupta’s reign marked a critical period in Gupta history, as the Gupta Empire faced significant external threats. His successful defense against the Hunas helped preserve the empire’s integrity and buy additional time for the Gupta dynasty.
