Options:

Bahadur Shah Zafar

Farrukhsiyar

Ahmad Shah Bahadur

Muhammad Shah

Correct Answer:

Bahadur Shah Zafar

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1- Bahadur Shah Zafar.

After the Revolt of 1857 was suppressed by the British, the last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah II (also known as Bahadur Shah Zafar), was captured and subsequently exiled by the British authorities. He was sent to Rangoon (now Yangon, Myanmar), where he died in exile in 1862. This marked the end of the direct line of Mughal emperors in India.
