C Correct answer
Explanation

During the Gupta Empire, provinces were called 'Bhuktis'. Each Bhukti was administered by a governor called 'Uparika' appointed by the central authority. Bhuktis were further divided into 'Vishayas' (districts), which were the next administrative unit. This three-tier system of Bhukti, Vishaya, and Grama (village) characterized Gupta administration.
