Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The chronological order of the monuments is determined by the ruling dynasties of the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire. The Qutub Minar is the earliest, with its foundation laid by Qutb-ud-din Aibak in 1199 AD and completion by Iltutmish around 1220 AD [1]. Tughlaqabad Fort was commissioned by Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq, the founder of the Tughlaq dynasty, in 1321 AD [1]. The Bada Gumbad, located in Lodhi Gardens, belongs to the Lodi dynasty period, which ruled from 1451 to 1526 AD. Finally, Fatehpur Sikri was established by the Mughal Emperor Akbar as his capital between 1571 and 1585 AD [2]. Therefore, the correct sequence is Qutub Minar (3), Tughlaqabad Fort (1), Bada Gumbad (2), and Fatehpur Sikri (4), corresponding to the order 3, 1, 2, 4.
