This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2025 Paper 2 Hindi Question Paper (15-Jun-2025)
The correct answer is

Meharauli Pillar Inscription

Meharauli Pillar Inscription option is correct.

The reign of Harshavardhana of Kanauj (c. 606—647 CE) is reconstructed from a small but well-known cluster of sources: the biography Harshacharita by his court poet Banabhatta, the Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang’s travelogue Si-Yu-Ki (Da Tang Xiyu Ji), and Harsha’s own royal charters — the Banskheda and Madhuban copper plates — which record land grants and give his genealogy and titles.

The Mehrauli Iron Pillar inscription (near the Qutb complex, Delhi) is a Sanskrit prashasti of a king “Chandra,” almost universally identified with Chandragupta II Vikramaditya of the Gupta dynasty. It celebrates his victories in Vanga and across the Sindhu, and predates Harsha by nearly two centuries. It therefore has no bearing on Harshavardhana’s political history.
