AnswerClick to flip back
A
Qutb-ud-din Aibak
💡 Explanation:
Qutub Minar was started by Qutb-ud-din Aibak in 1193 to mark his victory over the last Hindu kingdom in Delhi. Though he only completed the first storey, his successors Iltutmish and Firoz Shah Tughlaq added the remaining storeys later. Sher Shah Suri, Bahadur Shah Zafar, and Shah Jahan ruled centuries later and had no connection to its construction.
