[C] Ahmed Shah

[D] Mahmud Begarha

Answer: D
Notes:

Explanation: Mahmud Begarha (c.1459–1511 CE): In c. 1507 CE, Mahmud led an expedition against the Portuguese (who had settled on the western coast) to break their trade monopoly, which was causing immense harm to the Muslim traders.

For this, he sought help of the ruler of Egypt, but he was unsuccessful and finally he had to give the Portuguese a site for a factory in Diu.
