Answer 1

Hint: Krishnadeva Raya was the most famous king of the Vijayanagara Empire. During his reign, the Vijayanagar country reached its pinnacle of splendour. In every conflict he fought, he was victorious. He captured Vijayawada and Rajmahendri after defeating the king of Odisha.

Complete answer:
The Vijayanagara Empire –
>Vijayanagara, which means "city of victory," was both a city and an empire.
>Harihara and Bukka of the Sangama dynasty formed the kingdom in the fourteenth century (1336 AD).
>Harihara was the first ruler, and by 1346, the Vijayanagara monarchs had seized control of the entire Hoysala realm.
>They established Hampi as the capital. UNESCO designated Hampi as a World Heritage Site in 1986.
>It stretched from the Krishna River in the north to the tip of the peninsula in the south.
>The Vijayanagar Empire was controlled by four great dynasties: Sangama, Saluva, Tuluva, Aravind.
Vijayanagar is the name of the Vijayanagara Empire's capital city. The modern-day Hampi is surrounded by the remnants of the empire. Because of its strategic location, it was chosen as the capital. In Hampi, there are various civil, military, and religious monuments, such as the Virupaksha temple.
>In 1336, when Muhammad Tughlaq's dominance in Deccan waned, two Hindu rulers, Harihar and Bukka, established an independent kingdom between the Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers.
>The Battle of Talikota in 1565 is regarded as the Vijayanagar Empire's major downfall. The combined troops of the Deccan Sultanates, including Bijapur, Golconda, and Ahmednagar, assaulted the >Vijayanagara kingdom and defeated and killed Vijayanagar King Rama Raya.

Therefore, Option ‘C’ i.e, 1336 is the correct answer because, in 1336, the Vijayanagara Empire was founded.
