C
Correct answer
Explanation
Alauddin Khalji introduced the system of land revenue assessment based on measurement of land (called zabita) rather than crop sharing or arbitrary assessment. This reform ensured more predictable revenue collection and reduced the power of intermediate rural chiefs. His revenue minister took detailed measurements of cultivable land to determine fixed demands.
