B Gujara
C Tomara
D Chauhanas

Answer & Explanation

Answer: [C]

The city of Delhi was founded by Tomara.

The city of Delhi was founded by the Tomara Rajputs in the 12th century. The Tomara dynasty ruled over the area around Delhi during that time, and it was their ruler, Anangpal Tomar, who is credited with the foundation of the city. He established the city of Lal Kot, which later became the foundation for the development of Delhi as a prominent political and cultural center.

While other Rajput clans such as the Chahaman, Gujara, and Chauhanas played significant roles in the history of the region, it was the Tomara Rajputs who were responsible for the establishment of Delhi.

Therefore, the correct answer is C) Tomara.
