Hint: In order to answer this question, to know the title of Sri Krishnadeva Raya, we will first mention the correct title of Sri Krishnadeva Raya and then we will discuss him and his empire. We will discuss more the languages of his empire.

Complete answer:
Sri Krishnadeva Raya earned the title of Andhra Bhoja. Sri Krishnadevaraya, the Vijayanagara Empire's Legendary ruler, is a well-known king. Despite the fact that his native tongue was Tulu, he was a major supporter of Telugu literature and worked tirelessly to guarantee its growth! He placed a large number of Telugu persons in positions of power and as poets. It's only natural to wonder why a non-Telugu King fought so hard for Telugu.

Tuluva Narasimharaya (from the Tulu bunts community of coastal Karnataka) was the last monarch of the Saluva dynasty's army. He married a princess from the Eastern Chalukyas (Kannada dynasty) and had Sri Krishnadevaraya, the third king of the Tuluva dynasty.

Sri Krishnadevaraya, also known as Kannada Rajya Ramana (Lord of Kannada Empire), Moore Rayara Ganda (King of Three Kings), and Andhra Bhoja (Lord of Andhra), was an eminent ruler of the Vijayanagara Empire, which encompassed the northern parts of today's Karnataka, which have the highest Telugu-speaking population.

Hence, the correct option is (A) Andhra Bhoja.

Note: Kannada, Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu, and Tulu were the empire's main languages. Krishnadevaraya was a multilingual scholar who could speak several languages. He spoke Tulu, Kannada, Telugu, and Sanskrit fluently. Although he only ruled Vijayanagara for only 20 years, he oversaw major developments in the realm.
