Solution

The correct option is C lands
'Iqta' is an Arabic word denoting a sort of administrative regional unit. It is usually considered equivalent to a province. Initially, the Delhi Sultans had divided their empire into several 'Iqtas' or provinces or spheres of influence and put them under the charge of officers called 'Iqtadars' (governors). During the Mughal period, Iqtadars were upper-class Muslims who owned iqtas or lands.
