This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2025 Paper 2 Sociology Question Paper (15-Jun-2025)
The correct answer is

Senguttuvan

Senguttuvan option is correct.

The Silappadikaram (“the tale of the anklet”), attributed to the Jain prince Ilango Adigal, is one of the five great epics of Tamil literature and is set in the Sangam-age Tamilakam. The story follows the merchant Kovalan and his virtuous wife Kannagi from Kaveripumpattinam to Madurai and finally to the Chera country. The third book, Vanchik-kandam, unfolds in the Chera capital Vanchi and centres on the Chera king Cheran Senguttuvan (“the righteous Chera”), who launches an expedition to the Himalayas to bring stone for a temple to Kannagi as the goddess Pattini and institutes the Pattini cult in the Tamil country.

Kulottunga I, Rajaraja I and Rajendra I are all Cholas of the ninth-to-twelfth centuries who post-date the Sangam classic by several hundred years and have no role in the epic.
