2.) None

Answer 2

1. B. Song.

2. A. Chola.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first half of the 10th century, between the fall of Tang Dynasty and the rise of Song, there was brisk trade between the overseas world and the Fujian kingdom of Min and the rich Guangdong kingdom of Nan Han. The Srivijaya benefited from this prosperous relationship as they linked themselves to the deal.

Regarding their relationship with the Chola, both were initially friendly, but deteriorated into actual warfare in the 11th century. In 1025, Rajendra Chola, the Chola king from Coromandel in South India, conquered Kedah from Srivijaya and occupied it for some time. The Cholas continued a series of raids and conquests throughout what is now Indonesia and Malaysia for the next 20 years.
