D1, 2, 4 and 5 only
Correct answer: (A) 2, 3 and 4 only — The correct statements are 2, 3 and 4 only.
Explanation
★The correct statements are 2, 3 and 4 only.
★Nadu Vagai, Mandalamudali and Madhyastha referred to classes of officials.
★Kadamai was the land revenue tax during the Chola period, not an official.
★Variyam was a committee of the Chola village assembly, its members being Variyar.
★So terms one and five refer to a tax and a committee, not officials.
★Only Nadu Vagai, Mandalamudali and Madhyastha name officials.
