Solution

The correct option is B Kurram
The Chola empire consisted of a group of villages called Kurrams or Tehsils. A group of Tehsils or Kurrams together formed a district called Nadu and a bunch of Nadus together formed a division called Kottam. A group of Kottams formed provinces called Mandalams. The Mandalams were the broadest division in this system.
