Solution

The correct option is C Achyuta Deva Raya
In 1524, Sri Krishna Devaraya pronounced his son, Tirumala Raya as the Yuvaraja but the crown prince didn’t live long to continue his father’s legacy and died, probably due to poisoning. With Timmarusu’s son rumored to have poisoned his son, he got both Timmarusu and his son blinded.
He declared his half-brother Achyuta Deva Raya, as his successor and died in 1529, after falling ill critically
