Solution

The correct option is B Sher Shah Suri
Purana Quila is one of the oldest forts in Delhi. It is attributed to the Mughal emperor Humayun and the Afghan King Sher Shah Suri. The foundation of Purana Quila was laid down by Humayun and this work was carried forward by Sher Shah Suri. It has three gateways surrounded by a wide moat connected to river Yamuna. The northern gateway combines Islamic pointed arch with Hindu Chattris.
