Correct Answer:
B. Babar
The First Battle of Panipat, fought in 1526, was a pivotal moment in Indian history, marking the end of the Delhi Sultanate and the beginning of the Mughal Empire. Ibrahim Lodhi, the last ruler of the Lodhi dynasty, was decisively defeated by Babar (Zahir-ud-din Muhammad Babar), the founder of the Mughal Empire. Babar's superior military tactics, including the use of gunpowder artillery, played a crucial role in his victory.
The other options are incorrect:
- Akbar and Jahangir were later Mughal emperors, Babar's grandson and great-grandson, respectively.
- Iltutmish was a prominent ruler of the Mamluk (Slave) dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate, reigning much earlier in the 13th century.
