Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Ibrahim Lodi

Explanation: The correct answer is D. Ibrahim Lodi. The Slave dynasty (also known as the Mamluk dynasty) was the first dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate, founded by Qutb-ud-din Aibak in 1206. Ibrahin Lodi belonged to the Lodi dynasty, which was the last dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate and was of Afghan origin. He ruled from 1517 to 1526 and was defeated by Babur in the First Battle of Panipat (1526), marking the end of the Delhi Sultanate and the beginning of Mughal rule in India.
