correct answer : a)
Explanation:
S1 establishes Vijayanagara. S continues by stating its origin (fourteenth century). P logically continues to state that in its heyday, it stretched from the river Krishna to the extreme south of the peninsula. R states that in 1565 the city was sacked and subsequently deserted. Q connects with R to show that although it fell into ruin, it lived on in memories. Thus, SPRQ forms a coherent paragraph.
