Correct Answer:

Bibi Ka Maqbara

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4- Bibi Ka Maqbara

The Mughal monument built by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in the memory of his wife, Dilras Banu Begum, is Bibi Ka Maqbara.

It is also known as the "Taj of the Deccan" because of its striking resemblance to the Taj Mahal. However, it is smaller and less elaborate than the Taj Mahal.

Bibi Ka Maqbara was built in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India, between 1660 and 1669. It is a white marble mausoleum with four minarets at the corners and a central dome. The interior of the mausoleum is decorated with intricate carvings and calligraphy.
