Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Mahabalipuram, on the Tamil Nadu coast, is Pallava work, inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1984.
The Great Living Chola Temples are the Chola entry on the same list, and Pattadakal is the Chalukya one.
The Rashtrakutas are associated with Ellora, in Maharashtra.
Worth noting
All four dynasties have their own World Heritage site. Confusing Pallava with Chola is the standard slip because both are in Tamil Nadu.
