Which one of the following kingdoms was founded by Raja Odeyar ?

The Kingdom of Mysore was founded by the Wodeyar (also spelled Odeyar or Wadiyar) dynasty. While the dynasty was traditionally established in 1399 by Yaduraya Wodeyar (also known as Adi Yaduraya), it initially served as a feudatory under the Vijayanagar Empire [t1][t4][t6]. Following the decline of Vijayanagar after the Battle of Talikota in 1565, the Wodeyars asserted their independence [c1][c2]. Raja Wodeyar (Raja Odeyar I) ascended the throne in 1578 and significantly expanded the kingdom's territories, eventually moving the capital to Srirangapatnam in 1610 [c1][t8]. The other options—Tanjore, Jinji, and Madura—were prominent Nayankaras or successor states in the Tamil region but were not founded by the Wodeyar dynasty [c5]. The Wodeyar rule continued until the rise of Haider Ali in the 18th century and was later restored by the British in 1799 [c3][c4].
