The correct answer is: Pushyavarman Dynasty.

The Pushyavarman Dynasty was a dynasty that ruled the Davaka Kingdom of Central Assam from the 7th to the 9th centuries CE. The dynasty was founded by Pushyavarman, who is said to have been a descendant of the legendary king Narakasura. Pushyavarman was a powerful ruler who expanded the Davaka Kingdom to include much of present-day Assam. He is also credited with building several temples and other monuments in the kingdom.

The Pushyavarman Dynasty was eventually overthrown by the Pala Dynasty in the 9th century CE. However, the dynasty left a lasting legacy on the history of Assam. The Pushyavarman Dynasty is considered to be one of the most important dynasties in the history of Assam.
