• A. Shah Jahan
• B. Jahangir
• C. Akbar
• D. Humayun

Hint:

Order of Mughals: Babur, Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir, Shah Jahan.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
Babur founded the Mughal Empire in 1526 and died in 1530. His son Humayun became the next emperor. The order of rule is Babur, Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir, Shah Jahan.

Step 2: Key Fact:
The question asks: Which of the following emperor succeeded Babur ?
We test each option against the fact stated above.

Step 3: Check option 1 (Shah Jahan).
Shah Jahan was the fifth Mughal emperor, ruling from 1628, so he did not follow Babur directly. So option 1 is wrong.

Step 4: Check option 2 (Jahangir).
Jahangir was the fourth emperor, the son of Akbar, so he did not follow Babur. So option 2 is wrong.

Step 5: Check option 3 (Akbar).
Akbar was the third emperor and the son of Humayun, so he came after Humayun and not after Babur. So option 3 is wrong.

Step 6: Check option 4 (Humayun).
Humayun was Babur's eldest son and became emperor in 1530. So option 4 is correct.

Final Answer:
The correct choice is option 4, Humayun. \[ \boxed{4} \]
