The Kailasa temple at Ellora was built under the patronage of the Rashtrakutas. The temple is renowned for its remarkable architecture and is considered one of the most impressive rock-cut structures in India. The Rashtrakuta dynasty, which ruled from the 6th to the 10th centuries, played a significant role in the development of art and architecture in the Deccan region. They were known for their patronage of art and support for temple construction. While the other options mentioned in the question - the Cholas, Kadambas, and Pallavas - were also prominent South Indian dynasties, they were not directly associated with the construction of the Kailasa temple at Ellora. Thus, the correct answer is option 4 - Rashtrakutas.
