Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A(चेदि)
कलिंग नरेश खारवेल प्राचीन कलिंग के 'चेदि' अथवा 'महामेघवाहन' राजवंश से संबंधित थे। इस वंश का संस्थापक महामेघवाहन था, इसलिए इसे महामेघवाहन वंश भी कहा जाता है, जिसकी उत्पत्ति प्राचीन चेदि शाखा से मानी जाती है।
King Kharavela belonged to the Chedi dynasty (also known as the Mahameghavahana dynasty) of Kalinga. The dynasty derived its alternative designation from its historical founder, Mahameghavahana, who established a sovereign kingdom in Kalinga following the disintegration of the Maurya Empire.
