Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is b) 9th century CE.
The Kulasekhara Dynasty was a powerful kingdom in Kerala that emerged in the 9th century CE. The dynasty was founded by Kulasekhara Varman I, who was a descendant of the Chera dynasty. The Kulasekharas ruled Kerala for over 200 years and were responsible for many important developments in the region, including the construction of temples, palaces, and irrigation systems. The dynasty came to an end in the 12th century CE, when it was overthrown by the Chola dynasty.
The other options are incorrect because:
- The 5th century CE was the time of the Chera dynasty, which was the predecessor of the Kulasekhara dynasty.
- The 11th century CE was the time of the Chola dynasty, which overthrew the Kulasekhara dynasty.
- The 14th century CE was the time of the Vijayanagara Empire, which was a later power in Kerala.
