Answer:

B. Rajaraja I and Rajendra I

Read Explanation:

The Cholas were masterful temple builders who refined and perfected the construction of structural temples, an architectural tradition initiated by the Pallavas before them. They brought the Dravidian temple style to near perfection, establishing a distinct and classical architectural idiom in southern India. Notable examples of Chola artistry include the magnificent Brihadeswara Temple at Tanjore, built by Raja Raja I in 1010 A.D., and the Gangaikondacholapuram Temple, commissioned by Rajendra I to commemorate his victory in the Gangetic delta.
