The correct answer is option 2, Ghazni. Sultan Mahmud was a ruler of the Ghaznavid Empire, which was located in present-day Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan and Iran. He reigned from 998 to 1030 and was known for his military expeditions and conquests. Sultan Mahmud is particularly famous for his invasions of the Indian subcontinent, where he plundered many temples and amassed great wealth. His reign marked a period of power and prosperity for the Ghaznavid Empire, with Ghazni becoming a major cultural and political center in the Islamic world. While options 1 (Persia), 3 (Lahore), and 4 (Arab) were significant regions during this time, Sultan Mahmud`s rule was primarily centered in Ghazni.
