The Vijayanagar Empire was ruled by four main dynasties in succession: the Sangama Dynasty, the Saluva Dynasty, the Tuluva Dynasty, and the Aravidu Dynasty. Option A correctly lists these four dynasties. The question is likely phrased poorly and means “Which one of the following lists comprises the dynasties that ruled the Kingdom of Vijayanagar?”.

The Vijayanagar Empire (1336–1646 CE) was a powerful South Indian empire. Its history is marked by the rule of these four distinct dynasties, each contributing to the empire’s rise, maintenance, or eventual decline.

The Hoysalas and Yadavas of Devagiri were contemporary kingdoms that were either conquered or declined before the main period of Vijayanagar’s dominance. Poligars were feudal lords or military chieftains who existed within the Vijayanagar administrative system, not ruling dynasties of the empire itself.
