Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B(सिंचाई पर)
'हक्क-ए-शर्ब' (Haqq-i-Sharb) अथवा 'शर्ब' एक सिंचाई कर (Irrigation Tax) था, जिसे सुल्तान फिरोज शाह तुगलक ने उलेमाओं की सहमति से लागू किया था। जिन किसानों ने सुल्तान द्वारा निर्मित नहरों के जल से अपने खेतों की सिंचाई की, उन्हें अपनी उपज का 1/10 भाग (10%) 'हक्क-ए-शर्ब' के रूप में राज्य को देना पड़ता था।
'Haqq-i-Sharb' (or simply Sharb) was an irrigation tax instituted by Sultan Firoz Shah Tughlaq with the sanction of Muslim religious scholars (Ulema). Cultivators who utilized water from the extensive network of state canals built by Firoz Shah had to remit one-tenth (10%) of their crop yield as irrigation tax to the treasury.
