The correct answer is A. Bir Chand.

Bir Chand was the founder of the Bilaspur state in Himachal Pradesh. He was a Rajput prince who ruled from 1040 to 1080 AD. He founded the state after conquering the area from the Katyuri kings.

Option C, Kahn Chand, is incorrect because he was the grandson of Bir Chand, not the founder of the Bilaspur state.

Option D, Jaspal, is incorrect because he was a later ruler of the Bilaspur state, not the founder.
