Solution

The correct option is B Expanding agriculture
The Kakatiyas brought large tracts of land under cultivation by building tanks and digging wells. Apart from members of the royal family and other feudal families, the rich sections of the society like merchants and artisans also participated in expanding agriculture through construction of tanks. This enabled the extension of cultivation in the difficult terrains of Telangana and Rayalaseema. Thus, by promoting agriculture they derived income in the form of taxes and agriculture produce.
