Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
The correct choice is: “Andhra Pradesh”
The Satavahanas (also called the Andhras in the Puranas) ruled the Deccan from about the 1st century BCE to the 3rd century CE, with capitals at Pratishthana (Paithan) and Amaravati/Dharanikota. Their core territory lies in present-day Andhra Pradesh (with Telangana and Maharashtra), which is why they are identified with the Andhra region.
