Solution

The correct option is D Taj Mahal, Agra
The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal in memory of his wife, Mumtaz. However, due to pollution from the Mathura oil refinery and other industries, the colour of this marvellous mausoleum has eroded. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has undertaken restoration programmes to bring this monument to its past glory.
