A Correct answer
Explanation

The Brihadishwara Temple (also known as Peruvudaiyar Kovil) in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, was built by the Chola emperor Rajaraja Chola I between 1003 and 1010 AD. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest temples in India. Rajendra Chola was his son, and Vengi refers to a territory, not a person.

AI explanation

The Brihadeeswarar (Brihadishwara) Temple in Thanjavur was built by the Chola king Rajaraja I (Rajaraja Chola) in the early 11th century, and it remains a masterpiece of Chola architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Rajendra Chola, his son, is more associated with later Chola conquests and his own temple at Gangaikonda Cholapuram, not this particular temple.
