Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Babur.
Ibrahim Lodi, the last Sultan of the Delhi Sultanate, was decisively defeated by Babur in the First Battle of Panipat. This pivotal battle took place on April 21, 1526. Despite having a much smaller army, Babur's superior military tactics, including the effective use of gunpowder, artillery, and the tulughma (flanking) maneuver, overwhelmed Ibrahim Lodi's forces. Ibrahim Lodi died on the battlefield, marking the end of the Lodi dynasty and the beginning of the Mughal Empire in India.
