Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct aqnswer is option 1 i.e. Lodi dynasty.
The Lodi dynasty finally annexed Jaunpur into the Delhi Sultanate.
The independent Sharqi dynasty ruled the Sultanate of Jaunpur from 1394 until its eventual conquest. After a prolonged series of conflicts, Sultan Sikandar Lodi of the Lodi dynasty launched a decisive military campaign. He successfully defeated the last Sharqi ruler, Hussain Shah, and captured Jaunpur around 1494 CE.
This conquest formally ended Jaunpur's sovereignty and fully re-integrated its territories into the Delhi Sultanate, which was then under Lodi rule. The other dynasties—Khalji, Tughlaq, and Sayyid—ruled before Jaunpur's rise to prominence and were not involved in its annexation.
