Solution

The correct option is C Shah Jaman
Punjab due to its geography was a part of the Ghaznavid empire for 150 years. Shah Jaman and Ahmed Shah Abdali tried to claim the rights over Punjab. They believed that since the Ghaznavids were Afghans, Punjab needed to be ruled by them who were Afghans as well.
