CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The Chola temples are in Tamil Nadu, inscribed in 1987 and extended in 2004.
'Living' in the name means they are still in worship, which is what separates them from a ruin.
The Chola heartland was the Kaveri delta, in what is now Tamil Nadu.
Worth noting
The word 'Living' is doing real work in the name and is worth remembering — it is the part a question sometimes asks about.
