A Correct answer
Explanation

The Gupta Dynasty (c. 320-550 CE) is often called the 'Golden Age of Hinduism' as they gave Hinduism extensive state patronage. Hindu temples, art, and literature flourished during this period. While Buddhism and Jainism were also practiced, they did not receive the same level of royal support as during the Mauryan period. Islam had not yet reached India in any significant way during the Gupta era.
