A Correct answer
Explanation

Rukmini was the princess of Vidarbha (present-day Maharashtra/Telangana region), daughter of King Bhishmaka. She fell in love with Krishna and sent him a letter proposing elopement to avoid marrying Shishupala. Krishna abducted her during her swayamvara, and she became his principal queen and the mother of Pradyumna. Gandhar was Shakuni's kingdom, Mathura was Krishna's birthplace (ruled by Kamsa), and Dwarka was the city Krishna founded after leaving Mathura.
