Result

Your answer: — · Correct: A

Explanation

Assertion is true: Saluva Narasimha ended the Sangama line and assumed the royal title c.1485, founding the short-lived Saluva dynasty after taking power from weakened Sangama rulers [1]. The Reason is also true and serves as the correct explanation: sources note he defended the kingdom against the Gajapatis, recovered parts of coastal Andhra and worked to restore internal law and order, actions consistent with an intent to prevent further degeneration and disintegration of the realm [1]. Faced with rebellious feudatories and collapsing central authority, his seizure of power was a pragmatic measure aimed at preserving territorial integrity and governance, so R explains A.
