The Agnikula theory is a legend about the origin of certain Rajput clans from a sacrificial fire pit (agnikunda) at Mount Abu. The four major clans traditionally associated with the Agnikula origin are the Pratiharas (or Pariharas), Chaulukyas (or Solankis), Paramaras (or Pawars), and Chahamanas (or Chauhans). All four clans listed in the options are included in the Agnikula Rajputs according to traditional accounts.

The Agnikula legend is mentioned in later Rajput chronicles and poems, such as the Prithviraj Raso, though its historical accuracy is debated among scholars. It is often seen as a way to legitimize the status of these clans who rose to prominence after the decline of older dynasties.

These four clans played significant roles in the history of North India during the early medieval period, ruling various kingdoms after the decline of the Gurjara-Pratiharas. They frequently engaged in conflicts with each other and with other powers like the Palas and Rashtrakutas.
