The correct answer is A Krishnadev Raya.

Amuktamalyada is a renowned Telugu epic poem, and it was written by Krishnadevaraya, who was a prominent ruler of the Vijayanagara Empire in the 16th century. Krishnadevaraya was not only a skilled administrator but also a patron of literature and arts. Amuktamalyada is considered one of the masterpieces of Telugu literature.

B Peddana was another prominent poet in the court of Krishnadevaraya, but he is not the author of Amuktamalyada.

C Hemadri was a 13th-century writer known for his compilation of legal texts, and D Madhur Vijayam is a work written by Gangadevi, a 14th-century queen and poet. They are not associated with the authorship of Amuktamalyada.
