The city of Firozabad is associated with which ruler?

Firoz Shah Tughlaq

Firozabad is traditionally associated with Firoz Shah Tughlaq, who ruled the Delhi Sultanate from 1351 to 1388. He founded and developed several settlements and was known for public works, including canals, gardens, mosques, forts and other construction projects. Firozabad formed part of the wider urban development around Delhi and reflects the ruler's interest in building and administration. Thus option C is correct. Qutbuddin Aibak belonged to the early Mamluk period, Alauddin Khalji ruled before Firoz Shah as a Khalji monarch, and Sikandar Lodi belonged to the later Lodi dynasty. The question is therefore best solved by matching the place with the ruler whose name it preserves. The name Firozabad itself is an important clue, but the answer is based on the historical association with Firoz Shah Tughlaq.
