Which one of the following is the correct chronological order of the Afghan rulers to the throne of Delhi?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct chronological sequence is Bahlol Khan Lodi → Sikandar Shah (Sikandar Lodi) → Ibrahim Lodi. Standard reference lists for the Lodi dynasty show Bahlul (Bahlol) Lodi as founder (c. 1451–1489), succeeded by his son Sikandar Lodi (1489–1517), and finally by Sikandar’s son Ibrahim Lodi (1517–1526) who fell at Panipat in 1526 [1]. Genealogical and biographical entries explicitly record Ibrahim as the son of Sikandar and grandson of Bahlul, confirming the direct father-to-son succession across these three rulers [2]. Independent chronologies of the period likewise place the three rulers in this same order, corroborating option 3 as correct [3].
