A
The city of Vijayanagara was sacked in 1656.
B
The people of Vijayanagara remembered it as Hampi, a name derived from local mother goddess, Pampadevi.
C
Vijayanagara was the name given to both a city and an empire.
D
Vijayanagara was founded in the fourteenth century.
Correct Answer
The city of Vijayanagara was sacked in 1656.
Detailed Explanation
The reason the correct statement is that the city of Vijayanagara was sacked in 1565 and not 1656 is a matter of historical accuracy. The Battle of Talikota, which led to the fall of Vijayanagara, occurred in 1565. This battle was fought between the Vijayanagara Empire and a coalition of Deccan Sultanates. It was a pivotal event in the history of Vijayanagara and led to the destruction and sacking of the city of Vijayanagara.
The date 1656 is not associated with the sack of Vijayanagara; it is an incorrect historical date.
