Answer: Sikandar Lodi
option c is the correct answer.
Sultan Sikandar Lodi composed poems under the pen name 'Gulrukhi'. He was known for his fondness for literature and poetry and wrote 130 verses in the Persian language. His patronage of learning and scholarship during his reign contributed to a renaissance of poetry and music in Delhi. The rare musical composition "Lahdjat Sikandar Shahi wa-lata'if-i la-mutanahi" was a result of his interest in Indian music. This showcased his talents as a scholar, poet, and supporter of the arts.
