Answer: (A)

Charminar was put up to mark the founding of Hyderabad by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, the fifth ruler of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, around 1591. This era was about establishing a new capital in the Golconda region, and the monument became a symbol of the city. The other figures listed belong to different times and places: Aurangzeb was a Mughal emperor who ruled later; Shah Jahan is known for the Taj Mahal; Tipu Sultan was the ruler of Mysore in the 18th century. So the builder tied to Charminar is Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah.
