The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Narasimhavarman II.
The magnificent Shore Temple at Mahabalipuram was built during the reign of the Pallava king **Narasimhavarman II**, also known as Rajasimha. He ruled from approximately 695 to 728 CE. This structural temple, built with granite blocks, is a significant example of early Dravidian architecture and marked a shift from the rock-cut monuments seen earlier at Mahabalipuram.
