The correct option is B.

Rajaraja I (also known as Rajaraja the Great), who ruled the Chola kingdom between 985 and 1014 CE, was a powerful ruler and naval commander. He significantly expanded the Chola empire through conquests. His military campaigns included the conquest of parts of Sri Lanka, the Chera kingdom, the Pandya kingdom, and the Maldives.

His son, Rajendra I, further expanded the empire, including expeditions to North India and Southeast Asia, but the conquest of the Maldives is attributed to Rajaraja I.
