Explanation

The Qutub Minar was begun in 1199 by Qutb-ud-din Aibak (3); Tughlaqabad Fort was built by Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq around 1321 (1); the Bada Gumbad in Delhi's Lodhi Garden dates to the Lodhi period in the late 15th century (2); and Fatehpur Sikri was founded by Akbar in 1571 (4). The chronological order is therefore Qutub Minar (3), Tughlaqabad (1), Bada Gumbad (2), Fatehpur Sikri (4).
