Solution

The correct option is C Alauddin Khilji
Sher Shah started the Suri dynasty in 1540 by defeating Humayun. He introduced an administration that borrowed elements from Alauddin Khalji and made them more efficient. The corruption was checked by the dagh or branding system. Every soldier had his face recorded and his horse branded with imperial sign.
