The correct answer is option 3: Both 1 and 2.
Statement 1 states that Satavahana rulers were identified through matronymics. Matronymics are names that are derived from the mother`s side of the family. This means that the Satavahana rulers were identified not only by their father`s name but also by their mother`s name.
Statement 2 states that Satavahana succession to the throne was generally patrilineal. Patrilineal succession means that the throne is inherited through the male line of descent, from father to son.
Both statements are correct, as they explain different aspects of the Satavahana dynasty`s succession and identity. The identification of rulers through matronymics shows the importance of the mother`s lineage, while the patrilineal succession ensures that the throne passes from father to son.
