  2. 2Shore Temple at Mahabalipuram

Cevap

The correct chronological sequence from earliest to latest is: Great Stupa at Sanchi (3rd century BCE), Shore Temple at Mahabalipuram (8th century CE), Brihadisvara Temple at Thanjavur (early 11th century CE), and Sun Temple at Konark (13th century CE).
The sequence follows the established historical timeline of Indian architectural development: Great Stupa at Sanchi (Mauryan/Shunga period, 3rd century BCE) comes first, followed by the Shore Temple at Mahabalipuram (Pallava period, 8th century CE), Brihadisvara Temple at Thanjavur (Chola period, 11th century CE), and finally the Sun Temple at Konark (Eastern Ganga period, 13th century CE).
