Hint:
 Delhi has a long history and has been an important political centre of India as the capital of many empires. There is no special Record of the ancient history of Delhi. Extensive coverage of the history of Delhi began with the sultanate of Delhi in the 12th Century. Since then Delhi has been the centre of successors of the Powerful Empire.


Complete solution:
The Tomara Dynasty ruled at Delhi (Including Delhi and Haryana Region) during the 8th – 12th century (736 AD – 1160 AD). The evidence to rule over this region has been seen by multiple inscriptions and coins. However, much of the information about the dynasty comes from Bardic Legends. They were defeated by Chauhans (Chahamanas of Shakambhari) in the 12th Century.
Anangpala was the First King of the Tomara Dynasty who established the citadel of Lal Kot in the Mehrauli Region of Delhi and he was also responsible for building the Anang Tal tank and the Anangpur Dam. Anangpala was also known as Anangpal Tomar.
The Chahamanas of Shakambhari known as the Chuahans of Sambhar and Chauhans of Ajmer, were an Indian Dynasty that ruled parts of Rajasthan and its neighbouring areas. The Chauhans originally had their capital at Shakambhari(Sambhar).


Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Note:
It was under the Tomaras and Chauhans that Delhi became an important commercial Center. Delhi has been the capital region which has controlled vast regions. At present time, Delhi is the capital of the Republic of India which is being ruled by the Government of India.
