Answer
B
Explanation
Pair 1 is correctly matched: Nannuka was the founder of the Chandela Dynasty with Khajuraho as his stronghold. Pair 2 is incorrectly matched: Jayashakti (Jaishakti) was a ruler of the CHANDELA dynasty — he succeeded Nannuka. Pair 3 is correctly matched: Nagabhata II was an important ruler of the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty. Pair 4 is incorrectly matched: Bhoja was an important ruler of the GURJARA-PRATIHARA dynasty (also called Mihir Bhoj), while Bhoja of Dhara was of the Paramara dynasty. The Rashtrakuta dynasty was founded by Dantidurga. Only two pairs (1 and 3) are correctly matched.
