The correct answer is C) Muhammad-bin-Qasim.

Muhammad-bin-Qasim was the first Muslim invader to successfully establish a foothold in India when he invaded the Sindh region in 711 AD. He conquered the region after the defeat of the local ruler, Raja Dahir, leading to the introduction of Islam in parts of India. His campaign marked the beginning of a series of Muslim incursions into the Indian subcontinent.
