Correct answer
Explanation
Ikhtiyar-Ud-Din Muhammad Khiljee invaded Bengal in 1206-1207 during the reign of Lakshmana Sena, the last ruler of the Sena dynasty. This invasion marked the beginning of Muslim rule in Bengal and led to the decline of Buddhist monasteries like Nalanda and Vikramashila. Dharmapala and Sasanka were earlier rulers, while Bhaskar Varman ruled in a different region.
