A Correct answer
Explanation

Muhammad bin Tughluq, the Delhi Sultanate ruler (1325-1351), famously shifted his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad (Devagiri) in 1327, though the decision was disastrous and he later returned to Delhi. Iltutmish ruled earlier, Akbar ruled much later as Mughal emperor, and Sher Shah Suri briefly interrupted Mughal rule but didn't make this capital shift.
