Option 1: (B), (C), (A), (D) -> Places Saluvas before Sangama, which is incorrect as Sangama was the founding dynasty.
Option 2: (C), (B), (D), (A) -> Correctly places Sangama (1336-1485) first, followed by Saluvas (1485-1505), then Tuluvas (1505-1570), and finally Aravidu (1570-1646).
Option 3: (B), (C), (D), (A) -> Places Saluvas before Sangama, which is incorrect as it reverses the first two dynasties.
Option 4: (C), (B), (A), (D) -> Incorrectly places Aravidu before Tuluvas, reversing the last two dynasties.
Hence, Option 2: (C), (B), (D), (A) -> The Vijayanagara Empire saw four ruling dynasties in succession: Sangama (founding dynasty established in 1336), Saluvas (who took power in 1485), Tuluvas (1505, during which Krishnadevaraya ruled), and Aravidu (1570, the last dynasty until 1646) -> correct
