Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Alauddin Khilji (1296-1316) introduced market control in Delhi: he fixed the prices of grain, cloth, horses and other goods, set up separate markets under an officer called the Shahna-i-Mandi and enforced the rules through spies, mainly to maintain a large army cheaply. Sher Shah is known for revenue and road reforms, Akbar for the mansabdari and zabt systems, and Balban for his theory of kingship.
