Answer:<\/strong> B
Explanation:<\/strong> The Kartikeyapura dynasty is considered the first historical dynasty of the Central Himalayas. The 14 rulers of its first three branches<\/strong>\u2014the Basantadeva branch, Nimbaradeva branch, and Salodaditya branch\u2014ruled for approximately 300 years<\/strong>. According to Yashwant Singh Katoch, if Salodaditya is regarded as a separate founder, the total number of rulers becomes 15. Option A is incorrect as it mentions only two branches, whereas there were three. Option C is misleading because the figure of 15 rulers is based on a particular interpretation. Option D is completely incorrect because the Salodaditya branch was only the third branch, not the entire ruling span.<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n
