Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

P (Kailasa Temple, Ellora) is a Brahmanical rock-cut architecture, constructed by excavating out of the hill site. Hence, P–4.
Q (Shore Temple, Mamallapuram) is a Pallava temple constructed of dressed stone. Hence, Q–3.
R (Mahabodhi Temple, Bodh Gaya) is a Temple from late Gupta period entirely built in brick. Hence, R–2.
S (Brihadisvara Temple, Thanjavur) is one of the largest Chola temples. Hence, S–5. Thus, the correct match is (D) P–4, Q–3, R–2, S–5.
