Solution

The correct option is C Aurangzeb
Aurangzeb was the sixth and widely believed as the last effective ruler of the Mughal Empire. He believed on employment based on ability rather than religion. During his reign, the number of Hindu officials in the Mughal administration rose by half, many of them Marathas and Rajputs. This was largely due to a large intake of Marathas, who played a key role in his successful Deccan campaign.
