1705

1703

Correct Answer:

1707

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1- 1707

Aurangzeb, the sixth Mughal emperor, died on March 3, 1707. He passed away at the age of 88 in Ahmednagar, Deccan, which is present-day Maharashtra, India. Aurangzeb's death came after a long and eventful reign of nearly 50 years.
Aurangzeb's health had deteriorated in his final years due to old age and the stresses of ruling such a vast empire. He fell ill in 1706 and never fully recovered.
