The correct answer is
Muhammad Tughlaq

The correct answer is Muhammad Tughlaq.

The Begumpuri Mosque is a significant historical structure associated with the reign of Muhammad Tughlaq, one of the most notable and controversial rulers of the Delhi Sultanate. His reign, marked by ambitious but often impractical policies, left a lasting impact on the political and architectural landscape of Delhi. The mosque's architectural style reflects the characteristics of his era, providing valuable insights into the Sultanate's building traditions during his time. While other rulers like Sikandar Lodhi, Firuz Shah Tughlaq, and Bahlul Lodhi also contributed to the architectural heritage of the Delhi Sultanate, the construction of the Begumpuri Mosque is specifically linked to Muhammad Tughlaq's period. Understanding the historical context of the mosque's construction helps to appreciate the diverse architectural styles and historical significance associated with the different rulers of this era. Further research into the architectural features of the mosque can corroborate this historical fact. The mosque's location and construction materials further support its connection to Muhammad Tughlaq's rule and broader architectural endeavors during his reign. This attribution is confirmed through historical records and scholarly analysis of the mosque's architecture and construction methods, aligning it to the period of his rule.
