Correct Answer:

Lahore

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3 - Lahore

The capital of Maharaja Ranjit Singh was Lahore.

Lahore is a historic city located in present-day Pakistan. It was the capital of the Sikh Empire under Ranjit Singh's rule from 1799 to 1839. Ranjit Singh was a Sikh ruler who united all Sikh territories and established his kingdom. He was known as the "Lion of Punjab" for his military prowess and leadership.

Amritsar, Kabul, and Islamabad are also historic cities in the region, but they were not the capital of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Amritsar is a holy city for Sikhs and is home to the Golden Temple, their most sacred shrine. Kabul is the capital of Afghanistan and has a long and rich history dating back to the Silk Road era. Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan and was founded in the 1960s.
