Answer 1

Hint:
Masjid-i Jehan Numa, known as Jama Masjid from Delhi, is one of the largest mosques in India. Qutub Minar, also spelled Qutub Minar and Qutub Minar, is a tower and "Tower of Victory" that is part of the Qutub Complex, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Mehrauli region of New Delhi, India.

Complete step by step solution:
History of Jama Masjid: Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan built the Jama Masjid between 1650 and 1656. It was built by more than 5,000 workers. It was originally called "Masjid e Jahan Numa" which means "mosque that governs the world view". Construction was carried out under the supervision of Saadullah Khan, the wazir (or prime minister) during the reign of Shah Jahan. The construction cost at that time was one million rupees.

History of Qutub Minar: It was built on the ruins of Lal Kot, Dilika Fort. Qutb-ud-din Aibak, deputy of Muhammad of Ghor, who founded the Sultanate of Delhi after Muhammad of Ghor's death, began construction of the first floor of Qutub Minar in 1199. At this level there is an inscription praising Muhammad of Ghor. Aibak's successor and son-in-law Shamsuddin Iltmumish had completed three more floors. After a lightning strike in 1369 damaged the upper floor of the floor, the then ruler Firuz Shah Tughlaq replaced the damaged floor and added one more.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Note:
Jama Masjid has three gates, four minarets and two minarets as high as 40 meters. The prayer hall in the west has 260 pillars, and inscriptions on white marble tables are associated with Shah Jahan's reign. In Qutub minar, there are 379 steps inside the tower to get to the top.
