Who completed the construction of the Qutab Minar?

Correct option is C

​​The correct answer is (c) Firoz Shah Tughlaq

Explanation:

• The construction of Qutub Minar was started by Qutub-ud-Din Aibak in 1199 AD, but he could only complete its first storey.
• After his death, his successor Iltutmish completed the next three storeys.
• Later, during the reign of Firoz Shah Tughlaq, the minar was damaged by an earthquake, and he reconstructed the top two storeys using marble and sandstone.
• Thus, Firoz Shah Tughlaq is credited with completing the Qutub Minar in its final form.
