Solution

The correct option is C Rayagopura
The wealth that Krishnadevaraya gained from all the wars that he won was distributed among Hindu temples in South India. This was used to build gateway structures called gopuras. Many of these temples named the gopuras ‘Rayagopura’ in Krishnadevaraya’s honour.
