The correct option is D The Mughals
The Mughals established their supremacy in the south after the decline of Vijayanagar Empire. The decline of the Vijayanagar kingdom began with the death of Krishnadeva Raya in 1529. The kingdom came to an end in 1565, when Ramrai was defeated at Talikota by the joint efforts of Adilshahi, Nizamshahi, Qutubshahi and Baridshahi.
