Which of the following kingdoms was divided into subdivisions called Aharas or Rashtras that meant districts?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

- The Satavahana (Andhra) administration is known from inscriptions and literary sources to have been organised into territorial units called "aharas" or "rashtras", both terms referring to districts or counties.
- These terms occur in Prakrit inscriptions and grants associated with the Satavahanas and their local officials, indicating a district-level subdivision of the kingdom.
- The other options are less appropriate: the Kushanas and Parthians used different satrapal or provincial terms, and the Shaka (Western Kshatrapa) polity used other local administrative nomenclature.

Therefore the correct choice is option (3) Satavahana.
