    Solution

    Ibn Battuta (1) visited India during the reign of Muhammad bin Tughlaq and although he did not visit the Vijayanagara Empire directly, his travels took place during the broader period when the empire was in existence. Marco Polo (2) visited India before the establishment of the Vijayanagara Empire, so he was not associated with it. Nicolo de Conti (3) visited the Vijayanagara Empire and provided an account of his experiences. Domingo Paes (4) was a Portuguese traveler who visited the Vijayanagara Empire and wrote detailed accounts of it.
