Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- Statement A is correct. Sultan Iltutmish’s daughter, Raziyya, became Sultan of Delhi in 1236. - Statement B is incorrect. While Raziyya attempted to rule independently, she was not supported by all nobles and chroniclers like Minhaj-i-Siraj. She faced resistance during her reign and was eventually deposed. Thus, Statement A is correct, and Statement B is incorrect.
