    Explanation:

    • Prabhavati Gupta was the daughter of Chandragupta II, the ruler of the Gupta dynasty. She was a Gupta princess and Vakataka queen who was the consort of Maharaja Rudrasena II. Following the death of her husband, she effectively ruled the Vakataka kingdom as regent from about 390 to 410. Hence pair 1 is correctly matched.
    • Chandrobalabbe: She was a Rashtrakuta princess and daughter of Amoghavarsha I. Though women were rarely appointed to administrative posts in a significant departure from traditions she was made the governor of the Raichur doab for some time. Hence pair 2 is correctly matched.
    • Raziya Sultan: She was the daughter of Iltutmish. Raziyyat-Ud-Dunya Wa Ud-Din, popularly known as Razia Sultana, was a ruler of the Delhi Sultanate in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent. She was the first female Muslim ruler of the subcontinent and the only female Muslim ruler of Delhi. Hence pair 3 is correctly matched.
    • Chand Bibi: Sultana Chand Bibi (1550–1599 CE) was an Indian ruler and warrior. She acted as the Regent of Bijapur Sultanate during the minority of Ibrahim Adil Shah II in 1580-1590, and regent of Ahmednagar Sultanate during the minority of her great nephew Bahadur Shah in 1595-1600. Chand Bibi is best known for defending Ahmednagar against the Mughal forces of Emperor Akbar in 1595. She was the daughter of Hussain Nizam Shah I of Ahmednagar, India. Hence pair 4 is correctly matched.
