A Correct answer
Explanation

The Chola administrative hierarchy had mandalam at the top, then kottam (province), then valanadu (sub-region), then uru (village). In descending size: Kottam (largest administrative unit) > Valanadu (intermediate district) > Uru (smallest village-level unit). The correct sequence is 1-3-2.
