Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The conflict between the Vijayanagara and Bahmani kingdoms was primarily centered on three distinct fertile zones: the Tungabhadra Doab, the Krishna-Godavari delta, and the Marathwada country. The Tungabhadra Doab, situated between the Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers, was a major bone of contention due to its immense wealth and economic resources [1]. The Krishna-Godavari delta was contested for its fertility and control over sea trade through its numerous ports. In the Marathwada region, the struggle focused on the Konkan coast and its accessibility. While the Vijayanagara Empire did expand into the Tamil country and the Kaveri basin, this area was primarily a site of conflict with the Sultans of Madurai and later the Nayak states, rather than being one of the three primary 'clash zones' directly associated with the intense Bahmani-Vijayanagara rivalry.
