Solution

The correct option is B Raghunatha Nayak
Tharangambadi or Tranquebar, is a town in the Nagapattinam district of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu on the Coromandel Coast. Tranquebar was the first Danish trading post in India established in 1620. King Christian IV had sent his envoy Ove Gjedde who established contact with Raghunatha Nayak of Tanjore. The Nayak turned out to be interested in trading opportunities and negotiated a treaty granting them the village of Tranquebar.
