The correct answer is: A. Ghiyas ud din Balban.

Ghiyas ud din Balban was the first Muslim ruler to impose the Jaziya on the Brahmins. He was the Sultan of Delhi from 1266 to 1287. He was a strong and able ruler who restored order and stability to the Delhi Sultanate. He was also a devout Muslim who imposed the Jaziya on the Brahmins as a way of asserting his authority and to raise revenue.

The Jaziya was a tax that was imposed on non-Muslims in the Islamic world. It was a form of jizya, which is a tax that is imposed on non-Muslims who live in a Muslim state. The Jaziya was a controversial tax and was often seen as a form of religious persecution.

Aram Shah was the son of Balban and ruled for a short period of time from 1287 to 1289. He was not a strong ruler and was overthrown by his cousin Kaiqubad.

Aurangzeb was the sixth Mughal emperor who ruled from 1658 to 1707. He was a devout Muslim and imposed the Jaziya on Hindus. He was also a controversial ruler and was often seen as a religious extremist.

Firoz Shah Tughlaq was the third Sultan of the Tughlaq dynasty who ruled from 1351 to 1388. He was a strong and able ruler who restored order and stability to the Delhi Sultanate. He was also a devout Muslim but did not impose the Jaziya on the Brahmins.
