Borobudur is a renowned site in Java, Indonesia. The correct answer is option 2, which states that Borobudur is an enormous Stupa built in the 8th Century AD.

A stupa is a Buddhist monument that typically contains relics or artifacts related to Buddha. Borobudur is considered one of the largest and most impressive Buddhist temples in the world. It was constructed during the Sailendra dynasty and showcases intricate stone carvings that depict stories from Buddhist scriptures.

Option 1 suggests that Borobudur is a temple dedicated to Vishnu and Shiva. This is incorrect because Borobudur is specifically a Buddhist monument, not a Hindu one.

Option 3 proposes that Borobudur is a palace of a Chola King in Tamil Nadu. This is also incorrect as Borobudur is located in Java, Indonesia, not in Tamil Nadu, India.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 2, and Borobudur is an enormous Stupa in Java, built in the 8th
