Solution

The correct option is B Shah Jahan
Shah Jahan had an almost insatiable passion for buildings. He undertook the construction of two great mosques, the Moti Masjid (the Pearl Mosque), and the Jama Masjid, (the Great Mosque, and a grand mausoleum known as the Taj Mahal at Agra. The Taj Mahal is a masterpiece of his reign. At Delhi, Shah Jahan built a huge fortress-palace complex called the Red Fort, as well as another Jama Masjid, which is among the finest mosques in India.
