According to Portuguese writer Nuniz, the women in Vijayanagara Empire were expert in which of the following areas? 1. Wrestling 2. Astrology 3. Accounting 4. Soothsaying Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Option (d) is correct because the Portuguese chronicler Fernao Nuniz explicitly recorded that women in the Vijayanagara Empire were proficient in wrestling, astrology, accounting, and soothsaying, often serving as palace guards and judges. Candidates are often tempted by options (a) or (b) due to the misconception that women were excluded from technical administrative roles like accounting or physical ones like wrestling in medieval society.
