Solution
The correct option is C Dantidurga Chalukyas ruled large parts of southern and central India between the 6th and the 12th centuries. The earliest Chalukyas were called Badami Chalukyas. Their last ruler Keerthivarman II was defeated by the Rashtrakuta King Dantidurga in 753. Dantidurga established the Rashtrakuta dynasty that ruled the Deccan and neighbouring areas of India from about 755 to 975 CE.
