Correct option is C
The correct answer is (c).
Explanation
The Second Battle of Tarain was fought in
1192 AD, in which
Muhammad Ghori defeated Prithviraj Chauhan. This victory paved the way for the establishment and expansion of Turkish rule over
Delhi and the Ganga-Yamuna Doab. However,
Balban was not Muhammad Ghori's representative. Ghori appointed
Qutb-ud-din Aibak as his trusted general and representative in India.
