Solution
The correct option is D Ambala and Meerut Sultan Feroz Shah Tughlaq transferred two Ashokan pillars from their original sites and got them installed in Delhi. The two original sites from where the pillars had been brought to Delhi were Ambala and Meerut. Feroz Shah Tughlaq established the fortified city of Ferozabad in 1354, as the new capital of the Delhi Sultanate. In centuries that followed, much of the structure and buildings near it were destroyed as subsequent rulers dismantled them and reused the remains as building materials.
