Fa-Hien visited India during which period?

Gupta period

Fa-Hien, also called Faxian, was a Chinese Buddhist traveller who came to India in the early fifth century CE. His journey took place during the Gupta period, especially during the reign of Chandragupta II. He travelled to visit important Buddhist places, study Buddhist texts, and observe religious and social life. His account is an important source for understanding India during that time.

Therefore option D, the Gupta period, is correct. The Mauryan, Nanda, and Kushan periods belong to earlier or different historical contexts and do not match the usual date of Fa-Hien’s visit. A useful examination association is that Fa-Hien is linked with the Gupta age, while other foreign travellers are linked with other rulers and periods. The supplied answer is historically consistent.
