A1 only
B2 only
CBoth 1 and 2
DNeither 1 nor 2

Explanation

The Satavahanas ruled the Deccan and parts of western India (1 true). But the Sudarshana Lake in Saurashtra was originally constructed under Chandragupta Maurya and famously repaired by the Saka ruler Rudradaman I (c. 150 CE, Junagadh inscription) — not by the Satavahanas — so 2 is false and the answer is 1 only.
