Answer & Explanation

Answer: [D]

Most of the Delhi Sultans, like the Khalji and Tughluq monarchs, appointed military commanders as governors of various size territories. These lands were called Iqta, and their holder was called Iqtadar or Muqti. The duty of the Muqtis was to lead military campaigns and maintain law and order in their Iqtas.
