Options:

1456

1229

1412

1336

Correct Answer:

1336

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4- 1336

The Vijayanagara Empire was founded in 1336 by Harihara I and Bukka Raya I, two brothers who were commanders in the Hoysala army. They founded the empire in response to the Muslim invasions of the Deccan region of India. The empire reached its peak in the 15th century, and it was a major power in South Asia until it was conquered by the Mughals in the 16th century.

The other options are incorrect. 1456 was the year that the Bahmani Sultanate was founded. 1229 was the year that the Chola Empire was founded. 1412 was the year that the Pandya Empire was founded.
