Correct Answer

Option A — A-4, B-3, C-2, D-1

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is A-4, B-3, C-2, D-1.

Key Points

• A. Babur — 4. Kabul. Babur died at Agra in 1530 but, as he had wished, his remains were later taken to Kabul and buried in the Bagh-e-Babur.
• B. Humayun — 3. Delhi. Humayun's Tomb in Delhi was built by his widow Hamida Banu Begum; it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the first great Mughal garden tomb.
• C. Jahangir — 2. Lahore. Jahangir's tomb is at Shahdara, Lahore, built by Shah Jahan.
• D. Shah Jahan — 1. Agra. Shah Jahan is buried beside Mumtaz Mahal in the Taj Mahal at Agra.
• Hence option (a).

Additional Information

• Humayun's Tomb is regarded as the architectural forerunner of the Taj Mahal — it introduced the charbagh (four-fold garden) plan and the double dome to India.
• Akbar is buried at Sikandra, near Agra, in a tomb he began himself and Jahangir completed.
• Aurangzeb, in keeping with his austerity, is buried in a simple open grave at Khuldabad, near Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar), Maharashtra.
• Nur Jahan is buried at Lahore, and her father Itmad-ud-Daulah's tomb at Agra — the "Baby Taj" — is the first Mughal building faced entirely in white marble with pietra dura inlay.
