Answer 1

The correct option is D The Elephanta Caves located in the region ruled by dynasty "B", are a replica of the ones at Mamallapuram.

The dynasty "B" is the Rashtrakuta dynasty. They ruled the Gulbarga region of modern Karnataka. An Arabian traveler, Sulaiman, described the empire ruled by the Rashtrakutas as one of the largest in the world, ranking among the top four. Krishna-III was the last great ruler of the dynasty and he defeated the Cholas, Cheras, and the Pandyas. The kings of the Rahstrakuta dynasty carved the hills at Ellora and built the very famous Kailasanatha Temple. The Ellora Caves are not a replica of the ones at Mamallapuram.
