Solution
The correct option is C Daulat Khan Lodhi
In the years between 1520 and 1524, Daulat Khan Lodhi tried to strengthen his position in central Punjab. This attracted more hostility from Ibrahim Lodhi. So, in order to teach Daulat Khan Lodhi a lesson, Ibrahim Lodhi tried to recapture Punjab. Daulat Khan Lodhi, alarmed at his safety, sent his son Dilawar Khan to Kabul to invite Babur to help overthrow Ibrahim Lodhi. Having accepted this invitation, Babur reached Lahore in 1524. There, he met the armies of Ibrahim Lodhi under Behar Khan. The armies tried to resist Babur, but were defeated. Babur conquered Lahore, Dipalpur and Jalandhar.
