Explanation:

."Both Shiva and the Buddha were worshipped by Kushana rulers."

This is correct. The Kushana rulers, including Kanishka, are known for their syncretic approach to religion. They patronized both Buddhism and Hinduism (including the worship of Shiva), reflecting a blend of cultural and religious traditions.

"Kanishka organized the fourth Buddhist council where doctrines of Hinayana were finalized."

This statement is incorrect. While it's true that Kanishka organized the fourth Buddhist council, it was significant for the development and finalization of Mahayana Buddhism, not Hinayana. This council marked a key point in the differentiation between the two main branches of Buddhism.

Therefore, the incorrect statement is the second one.
