Answer: (C) Parantaka I
Parantaka I, who reigned as a Chola king from approximately 907 CE to 955 CE, is historically recognized for his significant military achievements. He successfully invaded the Pandya kingdom and captured its capital, Madurai, a pivotal victory that greatly expanded the Chola empire southwards. To commemorate this triumph, he adopted the titles "Madurantakam" (meaning "Destroyer of Madurai") and "Maduraikonda" (meaning "Conqueror of Madurai"), which are frequently mentioned in his inscriptions and signify his dominance over the Pandyas.
