Explanation:

Dancing Girl from Mohenjodaro: The bronze statue known as the 'Dancing Girl' found in Mohenjodaro (one of the major sites of the Indus Valley Civilization) is indeed one of the earliest known bronze sculptures in India. The statue is over 4,500 years old.

Vakataka Bronze Images: The Vakataka dynasty was a prominent power in India during the period immediately preceding the rise of the classic Gupta dynasty. Some of the Vakataka bronzes, particularly those of the Buddha from Phophnar in Maharashtra, are indeed contemporary with the Gupta period bronze images.

Nataraja: The image of Shiva as Nataraja, or the "Lord of Dance," is iconic in Indian art. This representation of Shiva as the cosmic dancer was indeed evolved and fully developed during the Chola period, which spanned from the 9th to the 13th centuries in South India.

Given the above explanations, all three statements are correct.
