Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Mohammad-bin-Tughlaq transferred his capital from Delhi to Devagiri to have better administration over South India and forcibly moved the entire population to the new capital. But the capital shifted back to Delhi after two years because of the lack of water supply in Devagiri. So the reason for the shift of capital is not correctly given in the question.
