- CDewan-i-Kohi ... Alauddin Khilji
- DDewan-i-Arz ... Muhammad Tughlaq

The correct answer is A because Dewan-i-bandagani, which was the Department of Slaves, was established by Firuz Shah Tughlaq. He was known for maintaining a massive number of slaves and created this dedicated department to manage their welfare and training.
The other options are incorrect because:
Dewan-i-Mustakhraj, the department to collect arrears of revenue, was established by Alauddin Khilji, not Balban.
Dewan-i-Kohi, the department of agriculture, was established by Muhammad bin Tughlaq, not Alauddin Khilji.
Dewan-i-Arz, the military department, was established by Ghiyasuddin Balban, not Muhammad bin Tughlaq.
