Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B(आठ तेलुगू कवि)
कृष्णदेव राय का शासनकाल विजयनगर साम्राज्य में तेलुगू साहित्य का 'क्लासिकल युग' या 'स्वर्ण युग' माना जाता है। उनके राजदरबार को आठ सर्वश्रेष्ठ तेलुगू कवि एवं विद्वान सुशोभित करते थे, जिन्हें सम्मिलित रूप से 'अष्ट दिग्गज' कहा जाता था। इनमें अल्लसानी पेड्डना (जिन्हें 'आंध्र कविता पितामह' कहा गया), नंदी तिम्माना, धूर्जटि, मादय्यगारि मल्लन, अय्यलराजु रामचंद्रुडु, पिंगली सूरन्ना, रामराजभूषणुडु तथा तेनाली रामकृष्ण प्रमुख थे।
The reign of Krishnadeva Raya is celebrated as the Golden Age (or Classical Age) of Telugu literature. His royal court was adorned by eight renowned Telugu poets and scholars collectively known as the 'Ashta Diggajas' (the eight elephants supporting the literary sphere). Among them, Allasani Peddana (honoured as 'Andhra Kavita Pitamaha') was the foremost, alongside Nandi Timmana, Dhurjati, Madayyagari Mallana, Ayyalaraju Ramachandrudu, Pingali Suranna, Ramarajabhushanudu, and Tenali Ramakrishna.
