Comprehension:
"Although Babur and Humayun, __(i)__the Delhi Sultanate that ruled previously, had considered Delhi to be their capital, Akbar had shifted it to Agra. Forts, palaces and mausoleums of peerless grandeur came up in just a few years. Jahangir and in the early part of his reign, Shahjahan, continued to __(ii)__ Akbarabad. But now, the Emperor wanted to build a fine new city for his __{iii)__, which would bear his name and outstretch the creation of his grandfather, in both splendour and scale".
The text states: "Akbar had shifted it to Agra... Jahangir and... Shahjahan continued to (ii) Akbarabad. But now, the Emperor wanted to build a fine new city for his (iii)..."
The "it" that Akbar shifted refers to the "capital" from the first sentence. The logical flow is:
Therefore, the new city is intended for the same purpose as Akbarabad, which was the capital.
The most appropriate replacement for (iii) is b) capital.
