    1. Chalukyas
    2. Cholas

Correct Option: D

Senas considered themselves 'Brahma-Kshatriya'. Brahmakshatriya or Murdhabhishikta is (a) a term applied in Hindu Varna division to people who have a Brahmin father and Kshatriya mother; or (b) a term that applies, in the Hindu Varna division, to a Brahmin who pursues royalty, and hence concurrently adopts the Kshatriya Varna. According to Manusmriti, such people are treated equal to Brahmins. Parasurama is a classical example of a Brahmakshatriya.
