Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
For a location-based general-awareness question, the key is to identify the administrative place attached to the landmark, not the dynasty or builder associated with it. A monument can be historically linked to one period but geographically situated in a present-day city or region.
Here, the landmark asked about is Qutub Minar. Standard references place the Qutub Minar complex in the Delhi/New Delhi area, specifically at Mehrauli in South Delhi.
Punjab is a state and does not contain the Qutub Minar complex.
Madhya Pradesh is a central Indian state and is not the listed city/location of this monument.
Haryana is near Delhi in the wider region, but the monument is not located inside Haryana.
New Delhi is the offered location that matches the standard location used for Qutub Minar.
Therefore, Qutub Minar is situated in New Delhi among the given options.
