Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Guptas

Explanation: The correct answer is C. Guptas. The Gupta period (4th to 6th century CE) is often referred to as the Golden Age of India due to its advancements in art, science, and culture. Gupta coins, especially those issued by Samudragupta, display the king playing a veena (musical instrument), which clearly reflects their patronage and love for music. These coins are a strong indicator of the importance of music during the Gupta reign.
