Hint: Iltumish was an emperor in the Delhi Sultanate. He was also the father of Razia Sultan and two others. He was known to be a part of the first Muslim sovereign to rule in India. He was a part of the Mamluk kings who ruled in the Northern part of India.

Complete answer step by step: Iltumish was originally from a Dynasty called the Ilbari Dynasty. This dynasty was often referred to as the Slave Dynasty by the people. It was known that Iltumish had initially worked as a slave under Qutub-ud-din-Aibak, who later on became his Son-in-law.
Option A. Alauddin Khilji of the Khilji Dynasty was also one of the emperors who had ruled in the Delhi Sultanate. He was not the emperor under whom Iltumish had worked as a slave.
