Solution
The correct option is A Daulatabad
Dualatabad was nearly equidistant from Delhi, Gujarat, Lakhnauti, Telangana and other important places. The new capital had its strategic value. It was safe from Mongolian invasions which constantly threatened Delhi. The Sultan also did his best to make Daulatabad a suitable place for his officers and the people. All facilities were provided for those who were required to migrate to Daulatabad. A broad road was constructed for their convenience. Shady trees were planted on both sides of the road. A regular postal service was established between Delhi and Daulatabad.
