C Correct answer
Explanation

In the First Battle of Panipat, Ibrahim Lodi advanced against him with 100,000 soldiers and 100 elephants; and though Babur's army had grown, it was still less than half the size of his opponents, possibly as few as 25,000 men. The credit for the win of the Mughals goes to their fighting technique.
