The correct option is D Alauddin Khilji
The Chola empire began to crumble in 1052 CE. Between 1070 CE and 1120 CE, Kulottunga I had brought back some stability and prosperity to the empire. After his reign, the empire collapsed even further until it vanished altogether with the invasion of Malik Kafur, a general in the army of Alauddin Khilji.
