B Correct answer
Explanation

The Mahakuta group of temples in Bagalkot district, Karnataka, from the 6th century exhibit a fusion of northern Nagara and southern Dravidian architectural styles - truly pan-Indian forms. This early Chalukya site shows the synthesis of architectural traditions from across India before regional styles became more distinct. Murudeshwara, Biligiri, and Siddhesvara are from later periods or different contexts.
