Explanation

Among the options provided, Munim Khan was not a noble under Alauddin Khilji. Munim Khan was a prominent general and noble during the Mughal era, serving under Emperors Humayun and Akbar, and was later appointed as the Governor of Bengal. In contrast, the other three were key figures in the Khilji administration. Ain-ul-Mulk Multani was a distinguished noble and military commander who served as the governor of Malwa under Alauddin [t1, t5]. Zafar Khan was one of Alauddin's most celebrated generals, famous for his bravery in repelling Mongol invasions [c1]. Nusrat Khan was another top general and noble who played a pivotal role in the conquest of Gujarat and was known for his harsh administrative measures [t6]. Alauddin Khilji's reign was characterized by a strict control over his nobility to prevent rebellions [c3, t6].
