Solution

The correct option is D Nayankara
The Nayakas were given several villages from where they could collect taxes. These villages were called their Nayankara. Each nayaka had to maintain a stipulated amount of army, from the income they derived from the nayankara, for the service of the king. But they did not keep these villages permanently as they could be transferred at the will of the king to a new place.
