Correct answer: B
Explanation
Qutb-ud-din Aibak, founder of the Mamluk dynasty, began the minar at the end of the twelfth century.
His successor Iltutmish added the upper storeys, and Firoz Shah Tughlaq later repaired it.
Worth noting
Aibak began it and Iltutmish completed it; a question asking who finished it wants Iltutmish.
