Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The town of Nagalapuram was established by a ruler of the Vijayanagara Empire and named in honor of his mother, Nagala Devi. This practice of naming towns or temples after family members was common during the Vijayanagara rule to commemorate royal lineage and devotion.
