The discovery of .................... inscription throws new light on genealogy of the Kushana dynasty.
Answer: A
The inscription is the Rabatak inscription.
Found in 1993 at Rabatak in Baghlan province, Afghanistan, this inscription of Kanishka in Bactrian (Greek script) lists his predecessors: his great-grandfather Kujula Kadphises, grandfather Vima Taktu and father Vima Kadphises. It settled the order of the early Kushana kings and also shows Kanishka's rule over Indian cities.
Kandahar is known for Ashoka's Greek and Aramaic edicts, Taxila for its many inscriptions of different periods, and Bamiyan for its giant Buddhas; none clarified the Kushana genealogy.
