D Correct answer
Explanation

Kalidasa's Meghaduta (Cloud Messenger) prominently features Ujjain (ancient Ujjaini), where the exiled yaksha (nature spirit) resides and longs for his beloved. The poem describes the route the cloud-messenger would take from Ujjain to Alaka (near Mount Kailash). Taxila, Amaravati, and Vaishali are important ancient cities but not central to this specific work.
