Explanation and memory cue
Historical records confirm that in 1414 AD, Khizr Khan became the Sultan of Delhi, founding the Sayyid dynasty. He ruled from 1414 to 1421. Sikandar Lodi, who is option C, ruled much later from 1489 to 1517 as part of the Lodi dynasty. Bahlul Khan Lodi founded the Lodi dynasty in 1451, and Ibrahim Lodi ruled even later. Therefore, the correct answer for the king of Delhi in 1414 AD is Khizr Khan (option B).
