Answer:
D. Muhammed Bin Tughlak
Read Explanation:
Muhammed Bin Tughlak
In 1327, Muhammad bin Tughluq ordered the shifting of his capital from Delhi to Devagiri (in present-day Maharashtra), which he renamed Daulatabad. This move is often cited as one of the most controversial and disastrous decisions of his reign.
Tughluq had two primary strategic reasons for this massive undertaking:
Central Location: Daulatabad was located almost in the center of the Indian subcontinent, making it easier to govern both the North and the newly conquered South (Deccan).
Safety from Mongols: Delhi was frequently under threat from Mongol invasions from the northwest, whereas Daulatabad was considered much safer.
Qutbuddin Aibak: The founder of the Slave Dynasty; he actually ruled primarily from Lahore.
Balban: Known for his policy of "Blood and Iron" and for strengthening the Delhi Sultanate's borders against Mongols.
Alauddin Khilji: He established a new capital city at Siri (near Delhi) to protect against Mongol raids but never moved the capital to the Deccan.
