‘Delhi-i-Kunha’ and ‘Jahanapanah’ are

Correct option is C

‘Delhi-i-Kunha’ and ‘Jahanpanah’ were two cities built during the rule of the Sultans of Delhi. Delhi-i
Kunha (Old Delhi) was constructed during the early Delhi Sultanate period and served as a fortified
capital under various rulers. It was established by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the first Sultan of Delhi, and
further developed by subsequent rulers. It was an important administrative and military center during
the early years of the Sultanate.
‘Jahanpanah’ was a city built by Muhammad bin Tughlaq in the 14th century. Tughlaq constructed Jahanpanah to protect the inhabitants of the earlier cities of Delhi (Delhi-i-Kunha and Siri) by enclosing them within a fortified area. The name Jahanpanah means "refuge of the world," reflecting Tughlaq's ambition to create a strong defensive city. This city was designed to integrate the different urban settlements of the Sultanate and protect them from external threats.
Both of these cities were part of the larger development of Delhi as a prominent political and military
hub during the Sultanate period.
