Explanation

Srikrishna Devarayalu (Krishnadevaraya), the Vijayanagara emperor from the 16th century, famously declared 'Desa bhaashalandhu telugu lessa' meaning 'Telugu is the best among all languages' in the court of poet Allasani Peddana. He was a great patron of Telugu literature and culture. The other options are all important Telugu figures but from different eras - Gurajada Appa Rao (19th-20th century), Tanguturi Prakasam (freedom fighter), and Sri Sri (20th century poet).
