Aurangzeb

Correct Answer:

Aurangzeb

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4- Aurangzeb

Shivaji, the famous Maratha warrior, fought against 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.

Shivaji was a Hindu warrior who was born in 1630. He was a brilliant military commander and a skilled strategist. He founded the Maratha empire, which challenged the Mughal empire for supremacy in India.

Shivaji fought a number of successful battles against the Mughals. He captured several Mughal forts and territories. He also raided Mughal cities and plundered their wealth.

Aurangzeb sent a number of armies against Shivaji, but none of them were able to defeat him. Shivaji died in 1680, but his legacy lived on. The Maratha empire continued to grow and expand after his death. Eventually, the Marathas defeated the Mughals and established their own rule in India.
