Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Qutb Minar is the earliest of the four, begun under Qutb-ud-din Aibak and completed/expanded by Iltutmish in the early 13th century, with later repairs by Tughlaq and Lodi rulers [2]. Tughlaqabad Fort was founded by Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq as the Tughlaq capital in the early 14th century, placing it after the Qutb complex [3]. The monuments in Lodi Gardens (tombs and structures of the Lodi dynasty) belong to the late 15th–early 16th century Lodi phase, hence come after Tughlaq constructions [2]. Fatehpur Sikri is a late 16th-century Mughal foundation under Akbar, making it the most recent of the four. Therefore the chronological sequence is III, I, II, IV (option 2).
