A Correct answer
Explanation

Mahmud of Ghazni raided North India from 1000-1027 CE, while Rajendra Chola I reigned from 1014-1044 CE, making them contemporaries. Rajendra Chola's naval expedition to the Ganges (c. 1022-1023 CE) was during Mahmud's lifetime, but they operated in different regions - Mahmud in the northwest and Rajendra in the south/east, never meeting. Muhammad Ghori invaded much later (late 12th century), and Raja Raja Chola I preceded both.
