The correct answer is option 2, i.e. 1, 3, 4 and 6. The decline of the Guptas in the mid-6th century CE led to the emergence of several regional powers in northern India, including the Pushyabhutis of Thanesar, the Maukharis of Kanauj, and the Maitrakas of Valabhi. The Paramaras of Malwa and the Yadavas of Devagiri emerged later, in the 9th and 10th centuries CE respectively.
