Solution

The correct option is C Pallavas
The city of Mahabalipuram was dicovered by the Pallava ruler, Narasimhavarman. The city of Mahabalipuram faces the Bay of Bengal along its length and provides an ideal sea port location, thus tempting the Pallavas to use the city for its import and export trades. Because of trade, many settlements started flourishing in and around the city.
