[A] Goa

[B] Gulbarga

[C] Golkonda

[D] Bijapur

Answer: C
Notes:

Explanation: Mohammed, I succeeded Bahman Shah. There was a decade-long war with Vijayanagar, most of which related to control over the Raichur doab.

  • Neither side gained lasting control over the region, despite the huge fatalities in battles. Two bitter wars with Vijayanagar gained him nothing.
  • But his attack on Warangal in 1363 brought him a large indemnity, including the important fortress of Golkonda and the treasured turquoise throne, which thereafter became the throne of the Bahmani kings.
