Correct Answer - Option 3 : 1489 - 1517 AD

The correct answer is 1489 - 1517 AD.

Sikander Lodhi ruled from year 1489-1517.
He swore the title Sikandar Shah and ascended the throne
Sikandar Lodi became the next ruler of the Lodi dynasty after the death of his father Bahlul Lodi in July 1489.
Work on music names “Lahjati-Sikandar Shahi” was created during his reign.
Lodi dynasty (1451–1526) was the last ruling family of the Delhi sultanate of India. The dynasty was of Afghan origin.
Lodi dynasty is the second and most successful dynasty of the Delhi sultanate.

Sikandar’s eldest son, Ibrahim Lodhi (reigned 1517–26), attempted to enhance the royal authority.
Ibrahim harshness built up discontent, however, which led the governor of the Punjab, Dawlat Khan Lodi, to invite the Mughal ruler of Kabul, Babur, to invade India.
In Panipat (April 21, 1526) war was fought between Ibrahim and Babur.
Ibrahim was killed, and whereupon the loose aristocratic confederacy of the Lodis dissolved.
