Solution
The correct option is A Humayun
Explanation:
Dethroned by an Afghan, Sher Khan (Sher Shah), Humayun took refuge in the court of the Safavid Persian ruler, Shah Tahmasp. It was during his exile in Shah Tahmasp’s court that Humanyun witnessed the magnificent artistic tradition of miniature paintings and manuscripts.
Impressed by the artists and with an ambition to recreate such art workshops in India, Humayun brought back with him the master artists when he regained power in India. He invited two Persian artists—Mir Sayyid Ali and Abdus Samad to establish a studio in his court and carry out royal paintings
