Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C(बलबन)
दिल्ली सल्तनत में 'जिल्लिल्लाह' (या 'जिल्ले-इलाही', जिसका अर्थ है ईश्वर की छाया) शब्द और उपाधि का प्रयोग सबसे पहले गयासुद्दीन बलबन द्वारा किया गया था। उसने राजत्व की गरिमा को बढ़ाने के लिए सुल्तान को पृथ्वी पर ईश्वर का प्रतिबिंब बताया।
In the Delhi Sultanate, the term and title 'Zill-i-Allah' (or 'Zill-i-Ilahi', meaning the Shadow of God on Earth) was first adopted and popularized by Ghiyasuddin Balban. To elevate the sanctity and majesty of kingship, he proclaimed the monarch to be the earthly manifestation and reflection of divine will.
