D.Both (A) and (B) are true but (B) is not the correct explanation of (A).
Explanation
Raziya did not change her name to pretend she was a man — historically, she ruled openly as a woman, even minted coins in her own name, and faced opposition for being a woman ruler. So A is false. Tawarikh authors of the period did argue, on the basis of gender, that men were superior to women, which is why Raziya's rule was criticised. So B is true.
