Correct Answer:

Qutub-Din Aibak

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4- Qutub-Din Aibak

Qutub-ud-Din Aibak was the commander of Muhammad Ghori, and he also founded the slave dynasty in India.

Qutub-ud-Din Aibak was born in Central Asia in the 12th century. He was captured and sold as a slave, but he eventually rose to become one of Muhammad Ghori's most trusted generals.

In 1206, Muhammad Ghori was assassinated, and Qutub-ud-Din Aibak declared himself the Sultan of Delhi. He founded the Slave Dynasty, which ruled India for over 100 years.

Qutub-ud-Din Aibak was a capable ruler and military commander. He expanded the territory of the Delhi Sultanate and defeated its enemies. He was also a patron of learning and culture. He built the Qutub Minar in Delhi, which is one of the tallest minarets in the world.

Qutub-ud-Din Aibak died in 1210, after a fall from his horse. He was succeeded by his son-in-law, Iltutmish.

The Slave Dynasty was one of the most important dynasties in Indian history. It helped to consolidate Muslim rule in India and it spread Islamic culture and religion throughout the country.
