Mahmud Gawan was a famous wazir of which Sultanate?

Bahmani Sultanate

Mahmud Gawan was the famous wazir and capable administrator of the Bahmani Sultanate in the Deccan, so option B is correct. He served under Bahmani rulers, helped strengthen central authority, reorganised provincial administration and supported learning. He is also associated with reforms that divided the kingdom into administrative units and with the establishment of a renowned madrasa at Bidar. His career illustrates the political and cultural importance of the Deccan during the later medieval period. The Delhi Sultanate was a separate northern power, while the Gujarat and Bengal Sultanates were independent regional states with their own ruling houses and officials. The word wazir means a chief minister, but identifying the office alone is insufficient; the historical association of Mahmud Gawan is specifically with the Bahmani state.
