Solution

The correct option is C Alauddin Khalji
Alauddin Khalji was the first ruler who introduced Market control policy. Under these, he fixed prices of foodgrains, clothes and other essential commodities. He was strict about prices and weight. Those who did not follow the orders were severely punished. He also introduced a subsidised rationing system especially in times of scarcity.
