Answer : 3. "Brahmin"
Explanation :
Muhammad bin Qasim was the first to impose Jizya tax in Deval of Sindh province in India. After this, the Sultan of Delhi Sultanate who imposed Jizya tax was Firoz Tughlaq. It collected Jizya as a separate tax by taking it out of Kharaj (land revenue). Earlier, Brahmins were kept free from this tax.
