A
Muhammad bin Tughluq
💡 Explanation:
Muhammad bin Tughluq is infamous for his disastrous decision to forcibly move the entire population of Delhi to Daulatabad, including animals. This ill-conceived plan caused immense suffering and is one of the most notorious examples of medieval administrative folly. The other rulers listed did not undertake such an extreme population transfer.
