Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Correct Answer is option 3 i.e.  Vijayanagara.

The Kamalapuram tank was built during the Vijayanagara Empire in the 15th century.Located near Hampi (in present-day Karnataka), Kamalapuram served as an important water reservoir for the capital city of the empire.The Vijayanagara rulers were known for their advanced water management systems, including tanks, canals, and stepwells to support agriculture and urban planning.

 Incorrect Options:

  1. Bijapur – A Deccan Sultanate known for its later Islamic architecture, not linked to this tank.

  2. Chola – Ruled earlier (9th–13th century); though known for irrigation systems, the Kamalapuram tank was not from their period.

  3. Bidar – Capital of the Bahmani Sultanate, not associated with the Kamalapuram tank.
