The correct option is D All of these

Simhadeva of Lohara family was the King of Kashmir. He assumed the throne of Kashmir in 1286. He was not a effective ruler and was dominated by his advisors. Suhadeva, the brother of Simhadeva, succeeded him and was the last ruler of Lohara dynasty. Rinchana, a Tibetan Buddhist refugee in Kashmir, established himself as the ruler in 1320. He was succeeded by Udayandev who was the last Hindu King to rule the place. He died in 1339 and foundation of Muslim rule was laid.
