Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a) Dvarasamudra.
· Dvarasamudra (modern-day Halebidu) was the capital of the Hoysala kingdom, which flourished between the 10th and 14th centuries in the southern part of India, particularly in present-day Karnataka.
· The Hoysalas are known for their remarkable contribution to architecture, especially the intricate temples of Belur and Halebidu.
· Dvarasamudra was the center of Hoysala power and culture until it was attacked and partially destroyed by the Delhi Sultanate in the early 14th century.

· Kalyani: The capital of the Western Chalukyas, not related to the Hoysalas.
· Mysore: A prominent city in Karnataka but not the capital of the Hoysala kingdom.
· Devagiri: The capital of the Yadava dynasty, not the Hoysala kingdom.
