Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Muhammad bin Tughlaq.
The Bahmani Kingdom was established by Ala-ud-Din Bahman Shah (also known as Hasan Gangu) in 1347 CE, marking the first independent Muslim kingdom in the Deccan region. At that time, Muhammad bin Tughlaq of the Tughlaq dynasty ruled Delhi. His harsh policies and administrative failures led to widespread revolts in the Deccan, ultimately resulting in the foundation of the Bahmani Sultanate, which later became a major power in South India.
