Which of the following statements is/are correct ? 1. The Satavahanas ruled over parts of western India and the Deccan 2. The Satavahanas repaired and rebuilt Sudarshana Lake Select the correct answer using the code given below:

The Satavahanas were a major dynasty that emerged in the first century BCE, ruling over significant portions of the Deccan and western India, including modern-day Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka [3]. Their capital was located at Pratishthana (Paithan) in Maharashtra [1]. While the Satavahanas were powerful in the Deccan, the historical record for the repair and rebuilding of the Sudarshana Lake in Gujarat is attributed to other rulers. The Junagadh rock inscription identifies that the lake was originally built by the Mauryas and later repaired by the Shaka (Scythian) ruler Rudradaman I around 150 CE after a severe storm [4]. Later, the Gupta Emperor Skandagupta also carried out restoration work on the lake [4]. There is no historical or inscriptional evidence suggesting that the Satavahanas were involved in the maintenance of Sudarshana Lake.
