{'alauddin khalji': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'merchants': [1, 1, 0, 1], 'crops': [6, 1, 6, 7], 'commodities': [0, 2, 2, 1], 'land revenue': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'marketing': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'khuts': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'hoarding': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'cultivators': [1, 0, 2, 4], 'muqadd': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'control': [8, 1, 1, 7], 'more privileges': [1, 0, 0, 0]}

The correct answer is option 4: More privileges should be given to Khuts and Muqadd-ams. Alauddin Khalji, the ruler during the Delhi Sultanate, implemented various measures to control black-marketing and hoarding. These measures included:

1. Collecting land revenue in kind: This means that the revenue was collected in the form of agricultural produce, rather than in currency.

2. Mandating that cultivators sell their harvested crops on the field only: This prevented hoarding and ensured that the crops were sold in a transparent manner.

3. Requiring merchants to sell all commodities in the open: This aimed to prevent black-marketing and ensure fair prices for goods.

However, giving more privileges to Khuts and Muqadd-ams, who were tax collectors, would not have directly addressed black-marketing and hoarding. It is important to note that while the provided answer is generally correct, an alternative explanation could be that the correct option was not provided.
