The correct answer is

Pandya

The correct answer is Pandya.

They controlled the present-day southern Tamil Nadu and parts of Kerala. The Pandyas were known for their patronage of Tamil literature and trade, especially maritime trade with the Roman Empire and Southeast Asia. After the Sangam age, they were eclipsed by the Kalabhras but revived significantly in the 7th century CE under rulers like Arikesari Maravarman (Nedunchezhiyan) and continued to be a major power until the 16th century CE, although their influence waxed and waned.
