B
Cholas
C
Cheras
D
Guptas
Solution:

Dantidurga ( also known as Dantivarman or Dantidurga II) founded Rashtrakuta empire in Deccan by overthrowing Kirtivarman II (the ruler of Chalukyas of Badami).

Rashtrakuta was a royal dynasty ruling large parts of the Indian subcontinent between the sixth and 10th centuries. The earliest known Rashtrakuta inscription is a 7th-century copper plate grant detailing their rule from Manapura, a city in Central or West India. Other ruling Rashtrakuta clans from the same period mentioned in inscriptions were the kings of Achalapur (modern Elichpur in Maharashtra) and the rulers of Kannauj. Several controversies exist regarding the origin of these early Rashtrakutas, their native homeland and their language.
