Correct Answer:
C. Harihara I
Explanation:
The person who founded a new city on the south bank of a tributary to the river Krishna and undertook to rule his new kingdom as the agent of a deity to whom all the land south of the river Krishna was supposed to belong is Harihara I.
Harihara I, along with his brother Bukka Raya I, founded the Vijayanagara Empire around 1336 CE. The capital city, Vijayanagara (modern-day Hampi), was strategically located near the Tungabhadra River, a tributary of the Krishna River. Harihara I ruled this kingdom under the spiritual guidance of Vidyaranya, and the empire was symbolically considered to be under the divine agentship related to the deity associated with the region south of the Krishna River.
Thus, the correct answer is (c) Harihara I.
