In India, during the Caliphate crusades, Nagabhata I crushed the Arab armed force under Junaid and Tamin. The Gurjara Pratihara administration was established by the Harichandra, and it is said that they have started from the Ujjain or Mandsaur.

Mihira Bhoja (c. 836–885 CE) or Bhoja I was a leader of the Gurjara-Pratihara line of India. He succeeded his dad Ramabhadra. One of the remarkable political figures of India in the 10th century, he positioned Dhruva Dharavarsha and Dharmapala as an incredible general and realm manufacturer.

Mihira Bhoja (836 – 885) had a place with the Gurjara Pratihara administration. A resolute enthusiast of the Hindu God - Vishnu, he was known as an extraordinary fighter and consolidator of domain.
At its pinnacle, his realm extended up to the foot of the Himalayas, from the Narmada stream in the South to Sutlej in the North.

B) Abdur razar; al-masudi are not the Arab travellers who went to the court of king Mihir. Option (b) is not the correct option.

D) Marco polo, Ibn -batuta are still not the people who visited the court of king Mihir. Thus, Option (d) is the right option.

Thus the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note: The Gurjara-Pratihara tradition was a royal force during the Late Classical time frame on the Indian subcontinent that governed a lot of Northern India from the mid-eighth to the eleventh century. They governed first at Ujjain and later at Kannauj.
