Options:

Akbar

Shah Jahan

Babur

Aurangzeb

Correct Answer:

Aurangzeb

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4- Aurangzeb

The title of Alamgir was used by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.

Aurangzeb was the sixth and last Mughal emperor, reigning from 1658 to 1707. He was a devout Muslim and a religious zealot. He tried to expand the Mughal empire and to impose orthodox Islamic rule on his subjects.

Aurangzeb assumed the title of Alamgir, which means "conqueror of the world", after he became emperor. He believed that he was destined to rule over the entire world and to spread Islam to all corners of the globe.

Aurangzeb was a successful military commander and he expanded the Mughal empire to its greatest extent. He also introduced a number of reforms to the administration of the empire. However, his religious policies were unpopular with his non-Muslim subjects and led to a number of revolts.
