Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The Vijayanagara Empire was initially ruled by the Sangama dynasty, followed by the Saluva dynasty, the Tuluva dynasty, and later the Aravidū dynasty. These dynasties ruled sequentially over the empire, with each bringing its own contributions to its administration and expansion. The Hoysala dynasty, although influential in southern India, was a predecessor to the Vijayanagara Empire and did not rule it. They were, however, important in shaping the region's politics and culture before the rise of Vijayanagara.
