Correct Answer:

(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

The matching of List - I with List - II is as follows:

(A) Ashvapati - (III) Deccan Sultans
(B) Narapati - (l) Rayas
(C) Karnataka Samrajyamu - (IV) Vijayanagara Empire
(D) Gajapati - (II) Ruling lineage of Orissa

As per the tradition of Vijaynagara, Gajapati literally means Lord of elephants. This was the name of a ruling lineage that was very powerful in Orissa in the fifteenth century. In the popular traditions of Vijayanagara the Deccan Sultans are termed Ashvapati or lord of horses and the Rayas are called Narapatis or the lord of men.

The Vijayanagara Empire was founded by the Harihara, also known as Hakka, and his brother Bukka Raya, who were Kannada speakers. The empire's capital, Hampi, was also located in Karnataka. As a result, the contemporaries referred to the empire as the Karnataka Samrajyamu, or the Karnataka Empire while historians use the term Vijaynagara Empire.
