Answer 1

The correct option is A took an active interest in

Agriculture developed at a faster rate after the sixth century in many parts of Tamil Nadu. Embankments were built to prevent flooding. Canals were constructed to carry water to the fields. Two crops were grown in many parts. This took a lot of effort. Kings and people took an active interest in these developments.
