Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A Narasimavarman I had the title ‘Mahamalla’ because he was a great warrior.
C When Narasimhavarman I defeated the Chalukyas, he assumed the title of 'Vatapikonda'
D A temple of Lord Shiva was built on the beach of Mahabalipura.

Narasimhavarman II or Rajasimha was also considered a great warrior and an even better military strategist. So Narsimhavarman II is called 'Rajasimha' or 'the Royal Lion'!
Narasimhavarman I had the title of 'Mahamalla' because he was a great warrior. When Narasimhavarman I defeated the Chalukyas of Badami, he assumed the title of 'Vatapikonda'. A temple of Lord Shiva, built on the beach of Mahabalipura is an example of Pallava architecture.
