Answer: B
The Damodarpur plates describe the uparika as a provincial official.
The copper plates from Damodarpur in Bengal, of the Gupta kings Kumaragupta I and Budhagupta, record land sales in the province (bhukti) of Pundravardhana. They show the bhukti governed by an uparika (uparika-maharaja), appointed by the emperor, who in turn appointed the officers of the districts (vishaya).
Court officials, village officials and trade officials appear in the plates too, under titles such as gramika, nagara-shreshthi and sarthavaha, but the uparika was the provincial governor.
