Options:

for

of

in

to

Correct Answer:

of

Explanation:

The correct option to fill in the blank is of.

The phrase "descendant of" means "a person who is descended from a particular person or group of people." It is the most accurate word to describe the relationship between the person and the Mughal royalty.

The other options are incorrect.

  • For means "because of" or "on behalf of." It is not the correct word to use in this sentence because the person is not descended for the Mughal royalty, they are descended from the Mughal royalty.
  • In means "inside of" or "within." It is not the correct word to use in this sentence because the person is not descended in the Mughal royalty, they are descended from the Mughal royalty.
  • To means "towards" or "in the direction of." It is not the correct word to use in this sentence because the person is not descended to the Mughal royalty, they are descended from the Mughal royalty.
