Solution
The correct option is A Tailapa III
Tailapa III succeeded Jagadhekamalla II to the Western Chalukya throne.
His rule saw the beginning of the end of the Chalukya empire.
Kakatiya dynasty Prolla II warred with him, defeated and took the Chalukya king captive.
This resulted in other feudatories rising against the Chalukyas. The Seuna and the Hoysala started to take away territory. Kalachuri Bijjala II captured the regal capital Kalyani in 1157 when Tailapa III had to flee to Annigeri (Dharwad district). Finally, Tailapa III was killed by Hoysala Vira Narasimha in 1162.
