Options:

Humayunbad

Shahjahanabad

Dinapanah

Sirhind

Correct Answer:

Dinapanah

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3- Dinapanah

The Mughal emperor Humayun built a new city at Delhi which he named as Dinapanah.

Dinapanah was the first city to be built by the Mughals in India. It was a walled city with a number of gates and towers. It also had a number of palaces, mosques, and other public buildings.

However, Dinapanah was destroyed by Sher Shah Suri in 1540 when he defeated Humayun and captured Delhi. Humayun later regained control of Delhi and rebuilt Dinapanah, but it was never as important as it had been before.
