Hint:
After Emperor Akbar assumed control over the Mughal Domain he moved his capital 195 kms south to Agra and from that point to Fatehpur Sikri. The spotlight moved away from the Old Stronghold slowly although it kept on working as a military post for a serious while.

Complete Answer:
The second Mughal Emperor Humayun in the year 1533 A.D. established the city of Dinpanah (Shelter of the Devout). This he did subsequently to hold conferences with different educated men and different researchers. The city was likewise situated in extremely close proximity to the sanctuary of Delhi's most respected holy person, Nizam ud Racket Auliya. The conviction of neighborhood Hindu people that the fanciful city of Indraprastha existed on that very spot likewise might have added to the choice to manufacture the city where it was made.
Today just the internal bastion of this city which is famously known as Purana Qila stands. There were various towns in and around the bastion like the towns of Indrapat(located in the fortress itself), Raisina and Malcha (found where Lutyens Delhi stands today) which were evacuated by the Britishers during the development of New Delhi in 1913 A.D.
At the point when emperor Humayun lost the seat of Dinpanah (Delhi) and Sher Shah Suri dominated, he cut down the segments of the city built by Humayun and modified it himself, and re-named the city as Shergarh. Its high dividers of rubble stone work with a slight player, 4 m. thick and as much as 21 m. high in places, have a battlemented railing over the column of bolt cuts, behind which up and down the circuit are constructed a progression of chambers in a two-path profundity. There are huge strongholds on the four corners, notwithstanding five strongholds in the western divider, and three entryways, all twofold storeyed, one on each side besides on the east. The doors have a facade of red and buff sandstones, with an elaborate utilization of white and dark marble and hued tiles.

So, the correct answer is B.

Note:
The three fundamental entryways of the fortress were Bara Darwaza, (Enormous Door) confronting west, which is as yet being used today, The South Door, famously known as the Humayun Entryway (either in light of the fact that it was developed by Humayun, or on the grounds that Humayun's Burial chamber is noticeable from that point) and the Talaqi Entryway, regularly known as the "forbidden gate".
In spite of the monstrous outside, not many of the inside structures have been made due aside from the Qila I Kuhna Mosque and the Sher Mandal, the two of which were supposed to be developed by Sher Shah Suri.
