Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Chahamana.
Muhammad Ghori was defeated by a Chahamana ruler in 1191. Specifically, he was defeated by Prithviraj Chauhan, the Chahamana (or Chauhan) king of Ajmer and Delhi, in the First Battle of Tarain. This victory was significant in resisting Ghori's expansion into northern India. However, Ghori later returned and defeated Prithviraj Chauhan in the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192, leading to the establishment of Muslim dominance in the region.
