Correct Answer: Shah Jahan


Solution : The correct option is Shah Jahan

Babur founded the Mughal empire in 1526. Initially, Agra served as the capital of the empire until 1648 . Shah Jahan shifted it to Shahjahanabad, later named Delhi. The main reason for the transfer was the narrow streets of Agra, which made large processions and celebrations difficult. Fatehpur Sikri also served as the capital of the Mughal empire for a brief period during the rule of Akbar.
