Solution
The correct option is A 1837 to 1857 A.D.
Mirza Abu Zafar Sirajuddin Muhammad Bahadur Shah Zafar was the last Mughal emperor. He was
the second son of and became the successor to his father, Akbar II with his
death on 28 September 1837. He used Zafar,
(translation: victory) a part of his name, for his nom de plume (takhallus)
as an Urdu poet, and wrote many Urdu ghazals. He was a nominal Emperor, as the
Mughal Empire existed in name only and his authority was limited only to the
city of Delhi(Shahjahanbad). Following his involvement in the Indian Rebellion
of 1857, the British exiled him to Rangoon in British-controlled Burma, after
convicting him on conspiracy charges in a kangaroo court.
