    D)  Rana Udaisingh

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The Kirti-stambha at Chittor was built by Rana Kumbha. The Kirti-stambha (tower of fame) dedicated to Lord Adinath was constructed by Baghervala merchant Sah Jija by using "Nija-bhujoparjita", i.e. self-earned money, according to an inscription by his great-grandson who had the monument repaired in 1489. The exact date of building of the Kirti-stambha is not known. Some believe that Sail Jija had an older tower rebuilt, perhaps from 12th cent.
