Answer:

Correct answer is He was famous for his tolerance of different religions and culture.

Step-by-step explanation:

Last option is correct as although he conquered many different areas he showed mercy, tolerance and respect towards all the people that were a part of his country.

First option is not correct as we have no sources to support this claim.

Second option is totally wrong as after conquering Babylon he remained tolerant towards the citizen of that city. He is actually the one freed Jews from that city according to legend.

Third option is also not correct - no recordings of that.
