Correct Answer:

Alauddin Hasan Bahman Shah

Explanation:

The Bahamani Sultanate was founded by Alauddin Hasan Bahman Shah in 1347. He was a Turkic general in the army of the Delhi Sultanate, but he rebelled against Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlaq and established his own kingdom in the Deccan. The Bahmani Sultanate ruled over the Deccan region for nearly 200 years before it broke up into smaller sultanates in the early 16th century.
