Solution

The correct option is C Father Jerome Xavier
In 1594 CE, Emperor Akbar requested for some learned priests from the Portuguese authorities who could give him lessons in Christianity. A mission led by Father Jerome Xavier reached Lahore in 1595 CE and a church was built. Many people of the lower strata of the society were converted, but they failed to convert Akbar.
