Babar and Ibrahim Lodi

Correct Answer:

Akbar and Hemu

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1- Akbar and Hemu

The Second Battle of Panipat was fought between Akbar and Hemu in 1556.

Hemu was a Hindu general who had served the Sur Empire. After the death of the Sur emperor, Adil Shah Suri, in 1556, Hemu declared himself the ruler of North India. He defeated the Mughal army at the Battle of Delhi, and he then marched on Agra. Akbar and his guardian, Bairam Khan, led a Mughal army to meet Hemu in battle.

The Second Battle of Panipat was a decisive victory for the Mughals. Hemu was killed in the battle, and his army was routed. The victory at Panipat secured Akbar's position as the ruler of North India, and it marked the beginning of the golden age of the Mughal Empire.
