Option 1: Qutub Minar is a 73-meter tall tower in Delhi, India. While it was constructed during the Islamic rule in India, it primarily represents Afghan architecture and does not prominently showcase Islamic principles of construction and ornamentation.

Option 2: Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque is a significant example of Islamic architecture in India. It was built using Islamic principles of construction and ornamentation and is known for its intricate carvings and arches.

Option 3: The tomb of Ilutmish, also known as Shams-ud-din Iltutmish, is located in Delhi. Although it is a historically significant structure, it does not exemplify Islamic principles of construction and ornamentation to the same extent as other options.
