Statement (D) is false. Razia Sultan attempted to curb the power of the Turkish nobles (Chahalgani), not strengthen them. She tried to build a more inclusive administration by promoting capable non-Turks like Malik Yakut. Her reforms and assertiveness angered the Turkish aristocracy, ultimately leading to resistance and her downfall.

    1. Razia Sultan was nominated by Iltutmish because he found his sons incompetent. With the support of the citizens of Delhi, she ascended the throne in 1236 CE. She appointed Malik Yakut, an Abyssinian (Habshi) noble, to an important position, breaking the monopoly of the Turkish nobles. The statement that she strengthened the Turkish nobles is false because she actually attempted to weaken their authority and create a more balanced administrative structure. Her policies provoked strong opposition from the powerful Chahalgani group, who felt threatened by her independent and assertive rule. This aristocratic hostility eventually led to rebellions that caused her downfall.
