Hint The sequence starts in 1414 and ends in 1451. It is also the fourth dynasty of Delhi Sultanat. In chronological order the dynasty rules were:
A. 1414-1421
B. 1421-1434
C. 1434-1445
D. 1445-1451

Complete step-by-step solution
Established by Khizr Khan, a previous legislative head of Multan, they succeeded the Tughlaq administration and controlled the sultanate until they were uprooted by the Lodi line. Individuals from the tradition inferred their title, Sayyid, or the relatives of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, in view of the case that they had a place with his heredity through his little girl Fatima, and child in-law and cousin Ali.
Mubarak Shah was the child of Khizr Khan, who climbed the seat in the year 1421, unlike his dad, he barely made any endeavor in recuperating the lost domains of the realm.
Muhammad Shah was a nephew of Mubarak Shah. He governed from 1434–1443. Muhammad Shah agreed to the seat with the assistance of Sarwar ul Mulk. After that Shah needed to liberate himself from the control of Sarwar ul Mulk with the assistance of his reliable vizier Kamal ul Mulk. His rule was set apart by numerous uprisings and connivances, and he kicked the bucket in the year 1445.
The last leader of the Sayyid tradition, Alauddin Alam Shah was vanquished by Bahlol Lodi, who began the Lodi administration.

So, option B is the correct answer.

Note The last leader of the Sayyids, Ala-ud-Din, intentionally surrendered the seat of the Delhi Sultanate for Bahlul Khan Lodi on 19 April 1451 and left for Badaun, where he kicked the bucket in 1478.
