Solution

The correct option is A Pandyas
The famous ports of the Pandyas were Korkai and Thondi. Pearl fishing was another industry that flourished during the Sangam age. The Pandyan port city of Korkai was the centre of pearl trade. The most expensive animal product that was imported from India by the Roman Empire was the pearl from the Gulf of Mannar.
