Correct Answer: Option A
Krishnadevaraya, belonging to the Tuluva dynasty of the Vijayanagar Empire, ruled from 1509-1530 and is regarded as its greatest ruler.
He maintained friendly relations with the Portuguese, granting them concessions due to the benefits derived from the import of horses and other goods.
