Correct Option: A
Krishna Deva Raya was the greatest Emperor of the Vijayanagara Empire who reigned from 1509–1529 CE. He was the third ruler of the Tuluva Dynasty. Emperor Krishna Deva Raya earned the titles Andhra Bhoja, Mooru Rayara Ganda (meaning King of three Kings) and Kannada Rajya Rama Ramana. Portuguese travelers Domingo Paes and Fernao Nuniz also visited the Vijayanagara Empire during his reign. Travelogues indicate that the king was not only an able administrator, but also an excellent general, leading from the front in battle and even attending to the wounded.
