When Babur invaded India who was the ruler of Vijayanagara empire in south India ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

Babur invaded India and established the Mughal Empire after defeating Ibrahim Lodi at the First Battle of Panipat in 1526 [4]. During this period, the Vijayanagara Empire in South India was ruled by Krishna Deva Raya (reigned 1509–1529), who belonged to the Tuluva dynasty [3]. Krishna Deva Raya is widely regarded as the greatest ruler of the Vijayanagara Empire, known for his military conquests, including the acquisition of the Raichur doab in 1512 and the defeat of the Sultan of Bijapur in 1520 [5]. Interestingly, Babur himself mentions Krishna Deva Raya in his autobiography, the 'Baburnama', describing him as the most powerful ruler in India at the time of his invasion. Other options like Saluva Narasimha (1485–1491) and Devaraya II (1422–1446) ruled much earlier, while Sadasiva Raya (1542–1570) ruled later [t1][t6].
