Explanation

Senguttuvan was a Chera ruler and Nedunjeliyan a Pandya ruler. Udiyanjeral was also a Chera ruler, so 'Udiyanjeral : Chola' is the only incorrect pairing. Exam takeaway: Sangam-age dynastic identification is frequently tested through names ending in characteristic dynastic forms such as Cheral/Chera.
