Solution

The correct option is B Sahana-e-Mandi
Alauddin put a ban on black market and profiteering. Its purpose was to keep prices low so that he could pay less to the soldiers and a vast army could be formed. He established 4 new markets. He created many new posts to control the markets, such as:
  • Diwan-e-Riyasat – Head of market.
  • Sahana-e-Mandi – Market superintendent.
  • Muhatarigba – weight-measuring inspecting officer.
He constructed rate table for each commodity during his reign.
