Answer 2

The correct answer is OPTION A: SATVAHANAS

• Endogamy was popular under the Satavahanas' reign.
• Names originating from a king's mother are known as metronymic.
• Gotras, a Brahmanical practice, were used to classify people.
• Women were expected to give up their father's gotra and accept their husbands, and marriages between members of the same gotra were forbidden.
• Satavahana brides, on the other hand, inherited their father's gotra and, for the most part, shared it with their husbands.
• Even though the use of metronymic implies that women were valued, historians have been unable to reach a definitive judgment because the royal succession was predominantly male primogeniture.
