Solution

The correct option is A Alauddin Khalji
In 1303, the first attempt by Alauddin to conquer Warangal ended in a disaster as the army of the Kakatiya dynasty defeated him. The Kakatiya king, Prataparudra II, raised a well-equipped army and Alauddin's army, which was led by Malik-ud-din and Jhaju. Six years later, Malik Kafur invaded Warangal for the second time.
