Solution

The correct option is B Gramas
In the Vijayanagara Empire, the smallest units of administration were the gramas or villages. The entire empire was divided into mandalams or provinces. The mandalams were then divided into nadus or districts. These were further divided into sthalas or taluks. The sthalas were finally split into gramas or villages.
