Solution
The correct option is B Allauddin Khilji
Malik Kafur was a slave who became a head general in the army of Alauddin Khilji, ruler of the Delhi sultanate from 1296 to 1316 AD. He was originally seized by Alauddin’s army after the army conquered the city of Khambhat. He was castrated and made a eunuch. Malik Kafur was also called “Thousand Dinar Kafur” or Hazar Dinari, the amount paid by the sultan for his possession. Malik Kafur was the commander of Alauddin Khilji’s forces during his Deccan Campaigns.
