Correct option is A
Kadamba was not the part of "tripartite struggle".
For centuries, rulers belonging to the Gurjara-Pratihara, Rashtrakuta and Pala dynasties fought for control over Kanauj.
The Tripartite Struggle for Kanauj had happened between The Palas of Bengal, The Pratiharas of Central India, The Rashtrakutas of Deccan.
The struggle lasted for 200 years and weakened all of them which enabled the Turks to overthrow them.
Thus, it is clear that Pala, Rashtrakuta and Gurjara-Pratihara dynasties fought the 'Tripartite struggle'.
