The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Hawa Mahal, the 'Palace of Winds' in Jaipur, was built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh and designed by the architect Lal Chand Ustad.
Maharaja Jai Singh II founded Jaipur in 1727; Ustad Ahmad Lahori designed the Taj Mahal; these are not the builders of Hawa Mahal.
Hence the builder was Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh.
