C Correct answer
Explanation

Kambar originally titled his epic Tamil Ramayana 'Ramavatharam' when he first wrote it. This name means 'The Incarnation of Rama' and refers to Lord Rama's avatar story. The work later became popularly known as 'Kamba Ramayanam' after its author. 'Rama Dharisanam' (Darshan of Rama) and 'Chakkaravarthy Thirumagan' (Emperor's Son - referring to Bharata) are not the original title. 'Kamba Ramacharitham' is Kambar's earlier work, not his magnum opus.
