Solution

The correct option is C Rajaraja Chola I
The Brihadeshwara or Rajarajesvaram temple, built by Rajaraja Chola I, was dedicated to Lord Shiva at Thanjavur. Its walls contain inscriptions of his key works and achievements.

Rajendra Chola I was the son of Rajaraja Chola I, whereas Vijayalaya Chola was the founder of the Chola dynasty, several years earlier.
