Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) Muhammad bin Tughluq

Muhammad bin Tughluq (1325-1351) issued token currency, but forgery was easy and the experiment failed, so the coins were withdrawn. Alauddin Khalji is known for market control and price regulation, Firoz Shah Tughluq for canals and new towns, and Balban for the theory of kingship and a strong army.
