Correct option is C

The Qutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Delhi, was indeed dedicated to the famous Sufi saint, Qutub-ud-din Bakhtiyar Kaki by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, who began its construction in 1192. It is often mistakenly believed that the Minar was named after Aibak himself.
Historical records indicate that the Qutub Minar was struck by lightning in 1369 during the reign of Firoz Shah Tughlaq. The upper part of the minaret was damaged and was subsequently restored by Firoz Shah Tughlaq, who added an additional storey to the tower.
