Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) Greeks – Sakas – Kushans
The Indo-Greeks entered north-west India c. 200 BCE; they were followed by the Sakas (Indo-Scythians) who established satrapies from the late 1st century BCE; the Kushans arose later (c. 30 CE onwards). Thus the chronological sequence is Greeks → Sakas → Kushans. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Greek_Kingdom?utm_source=openai))
