B Correct answer
Explanation

Razia Sultan (1236-1240), the only female ruler of Delhi Sultanate, had the name "Raziatuddin" inscribed on her coins, meaning 'slave of the faith' or 'servant of religion'. This followed the Islamic tradition of rulers adopting pious titles on coinage. The use of 'Raziatuddin' rather than 'Razia Sultan' emphasized her religious legitimacy.
