Answer 1

Hint:
Alauddin Khilji was the only Muslim ruler who built the imperial empire in India. He extended the boundaries of the Delhi Sultanate beyond the Vindhyas to the Deccan. Within the north, he conquered Gujarat, Malwa, Ranthambore, Chittoor and Jalore. In the south, his general Malik Kafur defeated the rulers of Devagiri, Warangal, Hoysala and Pandavas.

Complete solution:
 Delhi Sultanate, the the Muslim sultanate in North India from the 13th to the 14th century. It was composed with Muziz al-Din Muhammad ibn Sama (Muhammed of Muhar; brother of Sultan Ghiyath al-Din of Muhar) and his lieutenant Qub al-Din Aibak for victories in battles between 1175 and 1206, and especially in war. was. Tarari in 1192 and Chandavar in 1194.

Alauddin Khilji (1296–1316), born as Ali Gurshasp, was the emperor of the Khilji dynasty, who dominated the Delhi Sultanate in the Indian land mafia. Alauddin created several vital administrative changes related to revenue, price control and society. He is known to have repelled the Mongol invasions of bharat.

Alauddin was the nephew and relative-in-law of his predecessor Jalaluddin. When Jalaluddin became the Sultan of Delhi after the deposition of Mamluks, Alauddin was replaced by Aamir-e-Tuzuk (master of ceremonies equivalent to). Alauddin gained the governorship of Kara in 1291 after suppressing the rebellion against Jalaluddin in 1291, and the governor of Awadh in 1296 after a profitable raid on Bhilsa. In 1296, Alauddin attacked Devagiri, and bought plunder to launch a successful revolt against Jalaluddin. when killing Jalaluddin, he consolidated his power in Delhi, and defeated Jalaluddin's sons in Multan.

At times, Alauddin exploited Muslim bigotry against the treatment of Hindu chieftains and Zimis. Consistent with the later Crosser Barani, he was rarely aware of the orthodox Ulema, however believed that "the Hindu would never be humble and tractable to the Musselman until the Hindu was reduced to extreme poverty." He undertook measures to impoverish them and felt this was appropriate because he knew Hindu chiefs and muqaddams led a stately life, however failed to pay a Jital in taxes. Under Mamluks, Hindus were deprived of posts in high bureaucracy. However, the emir referred to a Hindu officer of his army to repel the Khusro Mangolas. Apart from this, many non-Muslims served in their army.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Note:
During the past years of his life, Alauddin was suffering from a disease, and was confident on Malik Kafur to handle the administration.After his death in 1316, Malik Kafur appointed Alauddin's son Shihabuddin and his Hindu married woman Jhapali as puppet emperors. However, his elder son Qutbuddin Mubarak Shah seized power soon after his death.
