Answer:
a). The Gupta's highest priority was preserving their power.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Gupta Period of India was considered to be the Golden period in the history of India. Art, culture and literature flourished at the Gupta periods.
Samudragupta, son of Chandragupta-I, was a great warrior of huis time and conquest and expanding the Gupta empire was his passion. He aimed to unite and conquer all of India under his reign and quickly left out to achieve his dream by waging wars almost all across the Indian subcontinent. One by one he conquered all the other kingdoms under his rule. He is sometimes compared with other brave warriors such Napoleon and Alexander the Great.
Thus we can say that Gupta's highest priority was preserving their power.
