The correct answer is

Pallavas

The Cholas came to power in South India after overthrowing the authority of the Pallavas, establishing their own dominant dynasty.

The Chera, Rashtrakuta and Satavahana dynasties ruled other regions or periods, not the specific power the Cholas directly overthrew.

Hence, Pallavas is the correct answer.
