Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The name of the poet Kalidasa is recorded in the Aihole (Meguti) inscription of Pulakesin II. The published school textbook excerpt notes that the Aihole inscription (dated Saka 634–635 CE), composed by the court-poet Ravikirti, mentions several literary figures and explicitly records Bharavi and Kalidasa in praise of the Chalukya ruler’s literary milieu [1]. This identification is corroborated by study materials and solved-question compilations which list the Aihole inscription as the source that names Kalidasa, making option (2) Aihole inscription the correct choice.
