Accepted Answer

The Hoysala era (1026 CE – 1343 CE) was marked by illustrious achievements in art, architecture, and culture. The nucleus of this activity lay in the present-day Hassan district of Karnataka, India. Hence option 1 is not correct.The Gahadavala dynasty, also known as the Gahadavalas of Kannauj, was a Rajput dynasty that ruled parts of the present-day Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar during the 11th and 12th centuries. Their capital was located at Banaras in the Gangetic plains, and for a brief period, they also controlled Kannauj. Hence option 2 is not correct.The Kakatiya dynasty ruled most of the eastern Deccan region in present-day India between the 12th and 14th centuries. Their territory comprised much of the present-day Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, and parts of eastern Karnataka, northern Tamil Nadu, and southern Odisha. Hence option 3 is not correct.The Seuna, Sevuna, or Yadava dynasty (850 - 1334 A.D.) was an Indian dynasty that, at its peak, ruled a kingdom stretching from the Tungabhadra to the Narmada rivers, including present-day Maharashtra, north Karnataka, and parts of Madhya Pradesh, from its capital at Devagiri (present-day Daulatabad in Maharashtra). Hence option 4 is not correct.Source Citation: History of Medieval India by Satish Chandra
