The only Muslim woman to sit on the throne of Delhi was ?
-
Noorjahan
-
Razia Sultan
-
Mumtaz Mahal
-
Hamidabanu Begam
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Razia Sultan (1236-1240 CE) was the only woman to rule Delhi as Sultan in her own right, not as a regent or queen consort. She was appointed by Iltutmish as his heir and ruled despite significant opposition from the nobility. Other women like Noorjahan wielded influence but never sat on the throne as sovereign rulers.
