Answer: C. Yayatinagara

Explanation

The Sonepur Copper Plate of Satrubhanja Dev mentions the name Khinjali Mandala for the first time. This document is believed to connect Silabhanja Dev to the founding of the Bhanja Kula in Khinjali Mandala. The capital of this region was Dhirtipura, identified with modern-day Baudh town. Raja Satrubhanja Dev II was defeated and killed by the Somavansi ruler of South Kosala, Raja Janmeyjaya I. As a result, the Bhanjas were driven out from the Baudh region, which was renamed Odra Desa. Raja Yayati I, the successor of Janmejaya I, established his capital in Odradesa at Yayatinagara, identified with modern Jagati in Baudh District.
