The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Dinpanah.

The city built by Humayun in Delhi is Dinpanah. Humayun commissioned the construction of Dinpanah in 1533 as a new city to serve as his capital. The name "Dinpanah" translates to "Protector of the Faith." Although the city was eventually abandoned, it played a significant role during Humayun's reign. Later, the site of Dinpanah was incorporated into the construction of the more famous Mughal city of Shahjahanabad by Emperor Shah Jahan.
