Solution
The correct option is B Devagiri
Muhammad bin Tughluq thought that shifting capital from Delhi to Devagiri would help him to establish control over the fertile land of the Deccan plateau. He also felt that it would make him safe from the Mongol invasions which were mainly aimed at Delhi and regions in north India. Daulatabad/ Devagiri was situated at a central place so the administration of both the north and the south could be possible
