Hint: Battle of Chach, was battled in 1008 AD between the Ghaznavid multitude of Sultan Mahmud Bin Sebuktigin (Mahmud of Ghazni) and the Hindu Shahi army of Anandapala, close to Mirpur, bringing about the last's destruction. This left the north Indian area powerless against additional attacks.

Complete answer:
Jayapala was a leader of the Hindu Shahi administration from 964 to 1001 CE. His realm extended from Laghman to Kashmir and Sirhind to Multan, with Peshawar being in the middle. He was the child of Maharaja Hutpal.

Mahmud of Ghazni unexpectedly assaulted present day Afghanistan and Pakistan in 1000 AD. There he vanquished Hindu Shahi ruler Jaipala, who ended it all later and was succeeded then by his child Anandpala. He framed a partnership with the leaders of focal and western India to spurn Ghazni.

Anandpal or Anantpala was a leader of the Hindu Shahi line in present-day Afghanistan and Pakistan. His reign started in 1001 CE and finished in or around 1010. He was the child of Jayapala, whose realm used to extend from Laghman to Kashmir and Sirhind to Multan, with Peshawar being in the middle, however had lost the greater part of his regions to Sabuktagin and his child Mahmud. Anandapala and his alliance were crushed by Mahmud of Ghazni when his elephant unexpectedly took off and switched things around of the fight.
Maharaj Hutpal was the granddad of Anandpal.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Note: Ruler Anandapala who climbed his dad's seat in about March/April AD 1002 previously demonstrated a capable fighter and general in driving numerous fights before his rising. As per 'Adáb al-Harb' (pp. 307–10) in around 990 CE, it is stated, "the egotistical however goal-oriented Raja of Lahore Bharat, having placed his dad in imprisonment, walked on the nation of Jayapála with the aim of vanquishing the regions of Nandana, Jailum (Jehlum) and Tákeshar" (trying to exploit Jayapala's concentrated exertion with protection against the militaries of Ghazni). "Jayapala educated Prince Anandapala to repulse the pioneer Raja Bharat. Anandapala vanquished Bharat and took him prisoner in the skirmish of Takeshar and walked on Lahore and caught the city and expanded his dad's realm at this point further."
