The correct answer is A) Harihara and Bukka.
The Vijayanagara Empire was founded in 1336 CE by Harihara I and Bukka Raya I, two brothers from the Sangama dynasty. They served under the Kakatiya rulers of Warangal and later shifted allegiance to the Kampili kingdom before establishing their own kingdom.
The empire was founded on the southern bank of the Tungabhadra River. Harihara I was the first ruler of the empire. Krishnadeva Raya was a famous later ruler, considered one of the greatest emperors of Vijayanagara (Tuluva dynasty). Rama Raya was involved in the Battle of Talikota which led to the decline of the empire.
