A
The ruler of Jodhpur
B
The ruler of Bikaner
C

D
The ruler of Gwalior
Explanation and memory cue

Historical records indicate that Humayun received a famous diamond, which is widely believed to be the Kohinoor, from the family of Bikramjit, the ruler of Gwalior, who were in Agra at the time. This contradicts the claim that Humayun received the diamond from Sher Shah Suri. In fact, Sher Shah Suri defeated Humayun and took possession of many of his assets, but there is no evidence that Sher Shah Suri gave the Kohinoor to Humayun. Therefore, the correct answer is 'D' - The ruler of Gwalior.
