Solution

The correct option is D Qutb-ud-din-Aibak
Writers call Qutb-ud-din-Aibak who was the founder of the Mamluk or the Slave Dynasty as "Lakh Baksh" meaning "giver of lakhs" because when he was the Sultan of the Sultanate of Delhi he donated a large sum of money in charity and he was very generous to his people.
