Explanation:

The Gupta Empire in ancient India was known for its religious tolerance (Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism co - existed), active trade networks (both inland and overseas), and significant wealth due to a prosperous economy. Alexander the Great did not invade the whole of India and was not defeated by the Guptas. The Guptas did not conquer the Maurya Empire using Chinese war techniques as the Maurya Empire predated the Guptas by several centuries. The Mongols did not cause the rise of the Gupta Empire as they were not a factor in India during the Gupta period.

Answer:

D. They were known for their religious tolerance, active trade, and great wealth
