Answer & Explanation

Answer: [C]

Prithviraj Chauhan defeated Muhammad Ghori in the Battle of Tarain.

The Battle of Tarain, fought in 1191 CE, was a significant conflict between Prithviraj Chauhan, the ruler of the Chauhan dynasty in Delhi, and Muhammad Ghori, the founder of the Ghurid dynasty. In the first Battle of Tarain, Prithviraj Chauhan was successful in repelling the forces of Muhammad Ghori.

However, Muhammad Ghori launched a second campaign and the two armies faced each other again in the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192 CE. This time, Muhammad Ghori emerged victorious, defeating Prithviraj Chauhan and establishing Ghurid control over the Delhi region.

Therefore, the correct answer is C) Battle of Tarain.
