The Kushanas were originally from
  1. a.Greece

Answer: (C) Central Asia

The Kushanas were a branch of the Yuezhi tribes of Central Asia who moved through Bactria into north-western India; their greatest king was Kanishka. Greece is linked with the Indo-Greeks of Bactria, such as Menander. Iran is linked with the Parthians (Pahlavas), whose king Gondophares ruled in the north-west. Europe has no link with the Kushanas' origin.
