B Correct answer
Explanation

The Tughlaq dynasty was ruling the Delhi Sultanate when Timur invaded India in 1398. At that time, Nasiruddin Mohammad (Nasiruddin Mahmud) was the Tughlaq ruler, representing a dynasty that had been in power since 1320. The invasion severely weakened the already declining Tughlaq authority and paved the way for the Sayyid dynasty to take control shortly after.
