Answer 1

The right answer is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jalaladin Muhammad Akbar (1556-1605) was one of the greatest rulers of Indian history. Although a Muslim himself, he practiced a policy of tolerance of Hinduism, the religion of the majority of his subjects. He was a formidable warrior that led an impressive war machine, but he also used diplomacy as a tool to reach his goals, forging alliances with some local Hindu rulers when possible, and even marrying princess Jhoda Bai, a Hindu noble woman, for political reasons.
