Hint
This ruler was the ruler of Mewar kingdom of western India. He belonged to the Sisodia clan of Rajputs.

Complete answer:
The Vijaya Stambha, situated inside Chittor Fort in Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, India, is an imposing victory monument. The tower was built in 1448 by the king of Mewar, Rana Kumbha, to commemorate his victory over the united armies led by Mahmud Khilji of Malwa and Gujarat. Vishnu is dedicated to the tower.

Therefore the correct answer is A

Additional Information:
Ran Kumbha court scholar Atri and his son Mahesh are ascribed to the inscribed slabs on the upper floor containing a detailed genealogy of the rulers of Chittaur and their deeds. The names of the architect, Sutradhar Jaita, and his three sons who assisted him, Napa, Puja, and Poma, were carved on the fifth floor of the tower.
A remarkable example of religious pluralism practised by the Rajputs is the Vijaya Stambha. The top floor contains an image of Padmavati, the Jain Goddess.

Note
Vijay Stambh has exquisite carvings and sculptures of Hindu Gods and Goddesses and is a devotee to Lord Vishnu. There are carvings of arms, musical instruments, and other tools used in that era in the internal part of the tower. It is an outstanding example of the Rajputs practising religious pluralism. The highest floor consists of an image of Padmavati, the Jain Goddess. Even on the third floor, the word Allah is carved nine times and on the eighth floor eight times, all in Arabic. The splendid tower is a piece of architecture frequented by visitors visiting the city and makes them feel proud of the country's vibrant past.
