The correct answer is Option 2 - Statement A and Statement C are only correct.

Given statements about the Urban core region in the Vijayanagara:

Statement A- Moving along the roads leading into the urban core, there is relatively little archaeological evidence of the houses of ordinary people (Correct)
Statement B- There was no evidence of Muslim settlements found in the region. (Incorrect)
Statement C- Archaeologists have found fine Chinese porcelain in some areas. (Correct)

"The urban core:  Moving along the roads leading into the urban core, there is relatively little archaeological evidence of the houses of ordinary people (Statement A). Archaeologists have found fine Chinese porcelain in some areas (Statement C), including in the north-eastern corner of the urban core and suggest that these areas may have been occupied by rich traders. This was also the Muslim residential quarter (Statement B is incorrect). Tombs and mosques located here have distinctive functions, yet their architecture resembles that of the mandapas found in the temples of Hampi."
