The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Thanjavur.

Thanjavur has been ruled by a variety of dynasties, including the Cholas, Pandyas, Nayaks, Vijayanagara Kings, and Marathas, before falling under British control.

Vijayalaya, the first mediaeval Chola ruler, re-established Chola power in 848 AD.

Thanjaur was his capital. Vijayalaya benefited from the struggle between the Pandyas and Pallavas.
