Explanation by: Admin

After the death of Harshavardhana, the throne of Kannauj became a symbol of political prestige and power in Northern India. This led to a famous Tripartite Struggle among three major powers:

  1. Gurjara-Pratiharas – based in western India (Rajasthan/Gujarat)
  2. Palas – based in eastern India (Bengal)
  3. Rashtrakutas – based in the Deccan (Maharashtra)

These three dynasties fought for control over Kannauj during the 8th to 10th centuries.

Why not Paramaras?

The Paramaras were a Rajput dynasty of Malwa (modern Madhya Pradesh) and did not participate in the Tripartite Struggle for Kannauj.

So, Paramaras (D) is the correct answer as the dynasty not involved in that struggle.
