Complete answer:
The Battle of Ghaghra was fought on 6 May 1529 in Ghagra, in the state of Bihar, India.
And it was a major battle for the conquest of India by the Mughal Empire. It was followed by the first Battle of Panipat in 1526 and the Battle of Khanwa in 1527. The armies of now Emperor Zahir ud-Din Muhammad Babur of the emerging Mughal Empire were joined by Indian allies in the war against the Eastern Afghan Confederate under Sultan Mahmud Lodi and the Sultanate of Bengal under Sultan Nosra Shah.

Muhammad Lodi, the brother of Ibrahim Lodi, who was the last Lodi to claim the Delhi Throne, was defeated in the Battle of Ghaghra. The Battle of Ghaghra was significant to the extent that it ended the last challenge of the Lodis. Muhammad Lodi was accompanied by the sultan of Bengal-Nosra and Shah, who approved the peace terms with Babur.

The given options are as follows:

Ibrahim Lodi was not defeated, his brother was defeated in the Ghagra Battle. Thus, Option A is not the right answer.

Muhammed Lodi was defeated in the Battle of Ghagra. Thus Option B is correct.

Medini Rai did not fight in the Battle of Ghagra. Thus Option C is also incorrect.

Rana Sanga also did not fight in the Battle of Ghagra. Thus Option D is incorrect.

Therefore the correct answer is B

Note
After winning the Battle of Ghaghra, Babur continued to strengthen his power and build administrative infrastructure in his new Empire, distributing jagirs (states) to loyal nobles and allies. He died at the age of 47 of an undisclosed disease, followed by his eldest son, Humayun.

After the Fight, Babur established the largest empire in India to become the largest Mughal dynasty in India. Though Babur was fighting against the Rajputs in Chanderi, the Afghans were pushing towards the capture of Agra. Babur has entered into a treaty with the ruler of Bengal, the Nosra Shah. The Afghans had a large army of almost one lakh warrior, while Babur had a tiny army. Babur beat the Afghans with outstanding ability and captured a large part of India.
