Solution

The correct option is B Arulmozhi Varman
The best example of Chola architecture is the Brihadeshwara Temple at Thanjavur. This temple was built by Rajaraja I who was named Arulmozhi Varman by his father Parantaka Chola II. Rajaraja I built this temple to worship Lord Shiva, and the walls of the temple contain inscriptions of his key works and achievements.
