Solution

The correct option is D. Thanjavur

Thanjavur (Tanjore) was the capital of Cholas. Vijayalaya was the founder of the Chola Empire. He defeated the Pallavas and took over the Tanjore kingdom within the 8th century and led to the establishment of the mighty Chola kingdom. Tanjore was hence made the primary capital of the eminent Chola Empire. Tanjore is located in the Cauvery Delta in Tamil Nadu. It was later named Thanjavur. It is a renowned site for South Indian religion, art, and architecture.
