Jalaluddin Firoz Khalji’s short reign (1290–1296) was marked by political challenges and local uprisings. Chronicles describe episodes such as the settlement and conversion of some Mongol groups (e.g., under leaders like Ulugh) and establishment of camps near Delhi, the plotting of religious figures (Sidi Maula) causing conspiratorial unrest and unrest among governors and military commanders. While Malik Kafur later became prominent under Alauddin, factional disturbances and ambitious commanders were features of this turbulent period. Putting these together, choice (D) captures the multiplicity of events connected to Jalaluddin’s reign.
