Explanation: The source indicates that after Amoghbhuti, the Shakas established authority over the plains. This transition reflects political changes and timeline shifts derived from coins and chronological markers. There is no specific mention of Kushana, Maurya, or Gupta influence in this context; therefore, the rise of the Shakas is considered the appropriate answer.

(A) The Natyashala of Kanchipuram and Gupta Era
(B) The Sun Temple of Katarmal and the Shaka Era prevalent in Kumaon
