Answer: D

Notes:

Explanation: According to Barani, the author of Tarikh-i-Firuz Shahi, Alauddin was convinced that the general prosperity of the nobles, inter-marriages between noble families, inefficient spy-system, and drinking liquor, were the basic reasons for the rebellions. Therefore, he passed four ordinances.

He confiscated the properties of the nobles.
The intelligence system was re-organised and all the secret activities of the nobles were immediately reported to the Sultan.
The use of liquor and intoxicants was prohibited.
Social gatherings and festivities without the permission of the Sultan were forbidden.

By such harsh measures, his reign was free from rebellions.
