Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option D(फिरोज तुगलक)
उलेमा वर्ग की धार्मिक स्वीकृति प्राप्त कर 'हक्क-ए-शर्ब' (सिंचाई कर) लगाने वाला दिल्ली का प्रथम सुल्तान फिरोज शाह तुगलक था। शाही नहरों के पानी से सिंचाई करने वाले किसानों से पैदावार का 1/10 भाग (10%) सिंचाई कर के रूप में लिया जाता था।
After seeking formal sanction from the Ulama, Firuz Shah Tughlaq became the first Sultan of Delhi to impose an irrigation water tax known as 'Haqq-i-Sharb'. Cultivators who utilized royal canals were charged 1/10th (10%) of their crop yield as irrigation tax.
