a. Strato I
b. Menander
c. Demetrios
d. alexander

Answer 1

Hint: The originator of Buddhism, Siddhartha Gautama, had birth around 563 BCE into a rich family. Gautama dismissed his life of wealth and grasped a way of life of parsimony, or outrageous self-control. Following 49 back to back long periods of reflection, Gautama turned into the Buddha, or "illuminated one".

Complete solution:
"Menander I the Savior"; referred to in Indian Pali sources as Milinda) was an Indo-Greek King of the Indo-Greek Kingdom (165/155 – 130 BC) who regulated a huge realm in the Northwestern locales of the Indian Subcontinent from his capital at Sagala. Menander is noted for having become a benefactor of Buddhism.

Menander was at first a king of Bactria. Subsequent to overcoming the Punjab he set up a domain in the Indian Subcontinent extending from the Kabul River valley in the west to the Ravi River in the east, and from the Swat River valley in the north to Arachosia (the Helmand Province). Old Indian essayists demonstrate that he dispatched campaigns toward the south into Rajasthan and as far east down the Ganges River Valley as Pataliputra (Patna), and the Greek geographer Strabo composed that he "vanquished a larger number of clans than Alexander the Great."

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Note:
 Enormous quantities of Menander's coins have been uncovered, bearing witness to both the prospering trade and length of his domain. Menander was likewise a benefactor of Buddhism, and his discussions with the Buddhist sage Nagasena are recorded in the significant Buddhist work, the Milinda Panha ("The Questions of King Milinda"; panha signifying "question" in Pali). After his passing in 130 BC, he was prevailing by his significant other Agathokleia, the conceivable little girl of Agatokles, who administered as an official for his child Strato I. Buddhist custom relates that he gave over his realm to his child and resigned from the world, however, Plutarch relates that he kicked the bucket in camp while on a military mission and that his remaining parts were separated similarly between the urban communities to be cherished in landmarks, likely stupas, over his domain.
