Solution

The correct options are
B Location of Daulatabad
C Fertile land of Daulatabad
D Fear of warrior tribe from Central Asia
Muhammad Bin Tughlaq passed an order asking all the residents of Delhi to pack up their belongings and move to the new capital Daulatabad. Interestingly, this move was driven by the fear of a fierce warrior tribe from Central Asia. Daulatabad was centrally located between the North and South. The land was very fertile, which meant that plenty of food could be grown. It was far enough from the North so that Tughlaq’s citizenry could be safe from invaders. Many people died along the way from hunger and fatigue.
