\nThe correct answer is D) Military Commanders.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Amar Nayakas were military commanders or chiefs in the Vijayanagara Empire. The ‘Nayaka’ system, also known as the ‘Amara-Nayaka’ system, was a significant administrative and military feature. These commanders were granted territories (amarams) by the king in return for maintaining a stipulated number of troops, elephants, and horses, which they were required to bring to the king’s aid when needed.
\n<\/section>\n
\nWhile the Amar Nayakas administered their territories, collected taxes, and possessed civil and judicial authority, their primary role and obligation were military. They were not hereditary village chieftains or independent tributary chiefs, nor were they primarily senior civil servants in the central administration, although they held considerable power and influence.
