The question asks to identify the ruler who completed the construction of the Qutab Minar.
Qutab Minar Completion by Firoz Shah Tuglak
The construction history of the Qutab Minar involved several rulers. While Qutb-ud-Din Aibak initiated the structure, and Iltutmish added subsequent storeys, the final stage of construction is attributed to Firoz Shah Tuglak.
Historical Context and Completion
- Qutb-ud-Din Aibak: Started the construction of the Qutab Minar in 1193 AD.
- Iltutmish: Added three more storeys to the minar.
- Firoz Shah Tughlaq: Significantly repaired the damaged structure in 1368 AD after it was struck by lightning and completed the fifth and final storey. His contribution involved the final completion and restoration.
Analysis of Options
- Firoz Shah Tuglak (Option A): Correctly identified as the ruler who completed the final storey and repaired the tower.
- Nasir-ud-Din Muhammad (Bahban): Not primarily associated with the completion.
- Muhi-ud-Din Muhammad (Aurangzeb): Ruled much later and was not involved in the Qutab Minar's initial construction or completion.
- Qutub-ud-Din Aibak: Initiated the construction but did not complete it.
Therefore, based on the historical records of repair and completion of the top storey, Firoz Shah Tuglak is credited with completing the construction.
