Correct answer: Nagabhata I

Explanation: The correct answer is C. Nagabhata I. Nagabhata I was the founder of the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty. He played a key role in resisting Arab invasions and establishing the dynasty’s dominance. Though the struggle for Kannauj intensified under his successors, he laid the foundation of Pratihara power in the north during the early phase of the tripartite struggle among the Pratiharas, Palas, and Rashtrakutas.
