Solution

The correct option is B Qutb-ud-din Aibak
Qutb-ud-din Aibak was a slave who worked his way up to become a general in the Ghurid army. He was left in charge of the administration of the territories in the Indian subcontinent after Muhammad of Ghor was forced to return to Ghazni in order to tackle the growing unrest on his western border.
