Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3- Vaghela Dynasty

The last Hindu dynasty of Gujarat, whose rule extended from 1244 to 1304, was the Vaghela Dynasty.

The Vaghela Dynasty was founded by Visaladeva Vaghela in 1244. Visaladeva was a powerful and capable ruler. He expanded the territory of the Vaghela kingdom and defeated the Chahamanas of Ranthambore. He also built several forts and temples, including the famous Sun Temple at Modhera.

The Vaghela Dynasty came to an end in 1304 when Karna Vaghela was defeated by Alauddin Khalji, the Sultan of Delhi. Karna was the last Hindu ruler of Gujarat.

The Vaghela Dynasty played an important role in the history of Gujarat. It was during the Vaghela period that Gujarat experienced a golden age of peace and prosperity. The Vaghelas were also great patrons of art and architecture. Many of the most famous temples and forts in Gujarat were built during the Vaghela period.
