Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Vijayanagara Empire was ruled by four distinct dynasties over a period of approximately three centuries. The first was the Sangama dynasty (1336–1485), founded by the brothers Harihara I and Bukka I [5]. They were followed by the Saluva dynasty (1485–1505), established by Saluva Narasimha, a military commander who usurped the throne to restore order [3]. The third was the Tuluva dynasty (1505–1570), which included the empire's most famous ruler, Krishnadeva Raya [3]. The final dynasty was the Aravidu dynasty (1570–1646), which ruled the empire in its declining phase following the Battle of Talikota [1]. While the Hoysalas and Yadavas were significant South Indian powers, they preceded or were contemporary to the early years of Vijayanagara rather than ruling under its suzerainty as its primary dynasties [5].
