Solution
The correct option is D Pallavas
Explanation:
The Western Gangas made land grants mostly to the Jainas, the Kadambas also made grants to the Jainas, but they favored the Brahmanas more. But the Pallavas granted numerous villages free of taxes largely to the Brahmanas. We have as many as 16 land charters of the early Pallavas. A few, which seem to be earlier, are written on stones in Prakrit, but most of them were recorded on copper plates in Sanskrit. The villages granted to the Brahmanas were exempted from payment of all taxes and forced labor to the state.
