Correct Answer: Kushan


Solution : The correct option is Kushan .

Regarded by many as the greatest Kushana king of the second century CE, Kanishka assumed the title of "Devaputra," which translates to "Son of God" in Sanskrit, as a way to identify himself with the divine line and highlight his ties to Indian spiritual traditions. Taking cues from the Roman and Chinese emperors, he also adopted the honorific title of "Kaiser," which has Roman roots and signifies his imperial power.
