Correct Answer: Excellent quality steel


Solution : The correct answer is Excellent quality steel.

The renowned Mehrauli iron pillar was constructed by the legendary king Chandragupta II. It is said to have been constructed between 375 and 415 CE. The metals used to build the pillar have a reputation for being rubbing-resistant. It shows the metallurgical art of that period. Under the Delhi Sultanate, the pillar is believed to have been constructed, possibly outside the Udayagiri caves, and later moved to its current location in the Mehrauli Qutub complex.
