B: Humayun dynasty
C: Qutbuddin Aibak dynasty
D: Aram Shah dynasty

The Slave dynasty also known as the Mamluk dynasty was established by Qutbuddin Aibak who had risen from the position of a slave to a general under Muhammad Ghori. After Ghori death in 1206 Aibak declared his rule and laid the foundation of Delhi Sultanate. His dynasty was called the Slave dynasty because many rulers were once military slaves trained in administration and warfare. The dynasty expanded under Iltutmish and later rulers who consolidated Muslim rule in North India. Thus the origin of this dynasty traces to Qutbuddin Aibak which makes option C accurate.
