Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
There is an error in the use of the preposition in the sentence. The preposition "at" should be replaced with "to" to convey the intended meaning that Shajahan was in line to inherit the position of ruler of the Mughal Empire. "Heir to" refers to someone who is entitled to succeed in a particular position or title, which is the intended meaning of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Shajahan was an heir to the Mughal throne.
