The ‘Verumpattam’ and ‘Kanapattam’ were forms of:

Tax collection
Tenancy rights
Ritual practice
Village administration

The correct answer is: B) Tenancy rights.

Verumpattam and Kanapattam were forms of tenancy rights in the Chola dynasty. Verumpattam was a form of tenancy in which the tenant paid a fixed rent to the landlord, while Kanapattam was a form of tenancy in which the tenant paid a share of the produce to the landlord.

Tax collection is the process of collecting taxes from individuals and businesses. Ritual practice is a set of activities that are performed in accordance with a religious or spiritual belief. Village administration is the process of managing the affairs of a village.

Verumpattam and Kanapattam were not forms of tax collection, ritual practice, or village administration. They were forms of tenancy rights.
