The question requires the identification of a Lodi Sultan and a town based on a map marked with “A”.

Option 1 says the Lodi Sultan is Behlol Lodi and the town is Jaunpur. This is the correct answer. Behlol Lodi was the founder of the dynasty in the Delhi Sultanate in the 15th and 16th centuries, and Jaunpur was a significant city under his reign.

Option 2 suggests the Lodi Sultan is Sikandar Lodi and the town is Aligarh. This may not be correct as the reign of Sikandar Lodi was marked by the founding of Agra, not Aligarh.

Option 3 presents the Sultan as Ibrahim Lodi and the city as Jaunpur. This is incorrect because Ibrahim Lodi, the last Lodi Sultan, is more associated with the famous battle of Panipat than Jaunpur which is significant with Behlol Lodi.

Option 4 identifies the Sultan as Ibrahim Lodi and the town as Aligarh. This is also not correct, as Ibrahim Lodi is not notably linked with the city of Aligarh.

Each answer choice depicts a different combination of a Lodi Sultan and a town, but based on historical significance and
