Option B: Alam Khan was an uncle of Ibrahim Lodhi. He was not treated well and expelled from the country by Ibrahim Lodhi. He was one of those who invited Babur to invade India. He was not the one who defeated Ibrahim Lodhi in 1526. This is an incorrect answer.
Option C: Humayun was the second emperor of Mughal Empire. His real name was Nasir-ud-din Muhammad. He was the son of Babur and father of Akbar. Humayun was not the one who defeated Ibrahim Lodhi in 1526. This is an incorrect answer.
Option D: Babur was the founder of Mughal empire in Indian. He ruled India from 1526 to 1530. He was a descendant of Timur and Genghis Khan. Babur defeated Ibrahim Lodhi at the First Battle of Panipat in 1526 CE. Hence this is the correct answer.

Option D is the correct answer to this question because the First Battle of Panipat was fought between Babur and Ibrahim Lodhi and Babur defeated Ibrahim Lodhi and established the Mughal Empire.
