Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B(भू-राजस्व)
विजयनगर साम्राज्य की वित्तीय व्यवस्था और राज्य की आय का प्रमुख स्रोत 'भू-राजस्व' (Land Revenue) था, जिसे 'शिष्ट' (Shist) कहा जाता था। केंद्रीय राजस्व विभाग को 'अठावणे' (अथवन) कहा जाता था। भूमि की उर्वरता और सिंचाई के आधार पर भूमि कर सामान्यतः उपज का 1/6 से 1/3 भाग निर्धारित किया जाता था।
The paramount pillar of the fiscal system and the main source of royal revenue in the Vijayanagara Empire was land revenue, known as 'Shist'. The central department of revenue administration was designated as 'Athavane' (or Athavana). Depending on soil fertility, crops, and irrigation facilities, the land tax typically ranged between one-sixth (1/6) and one-third (1/3) of the agricultural yield.
