The Vijayanagar and Bahmani rulers were involved in intense conflict in three different areas in the Deccan region. Option 1, the Tungabhadra doab, refers to the region between the Tungabhadra and Krishna rivers. Option 2, the Krishna-Godavari delta/basin, refers to the fertile region formed by the Krishna and Godavari rivers. Option 3, the Kaveri interior delta, refers to the region where the Kaveri river branches out and forms a delta. Finally, option 4, Marathawada country, refers to the region of Marathwada in present-day Maharashtra.

Based on this information, we can determine that option 3, the Kaveri interior delta, was not directly associated with the intense conflict between Vijayanagar and Bahmani rulers. The Kaveri region was predominantly under the control of other powers, such as the Chola and Pandya kingdoms, rather than being a direct battleground for the Vijayanagar and Bahmani rulers.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
