{'harsha': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'delhi': [4, 0, 4, 1], 'capital': [31, 3, 12, 18], 'kannauj': [2, 0, 2, 0], 'valabhi': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'thanesar': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'kamboj': [1, 1, 0, 0], 'deogiri': [1, 0, 0, 0]}
The correct answer is option 1: Thanesar, Kannauj. Harsha, the ruler, moved his capital from Thanesar to Kannauj. Thanesar was an important city in northern India, while Kannauj was located in the Gangetic plain. This move allowed Harsha to have greater control over the fertile region of the Gangetic plain, which was known for its agricultural productivity. Kannauj also served as a strategic location due to its position along important trade routes. Delhi, Deogiri, Kamboj, and Valabhi were not the locations where Harsha moved his capital to. It is worth noting that Kannauj became a prominent center of power during Harsha`s reign and continued to be an important city in subsequent centuries.
