Solution

The correct option is C Nadir Shah
The Peacock throne was a famous jewelled throne that was the seat of the Mughal emperors of India. It was commissioned in the early 17th century by Emperor Shah Jahan and was located in the Diwan-i-Khas in the Red Fort of Delhi. The original throne was subsequently captured and taken as a war trophy in 1739 by King Nadir Shah of Iran along with other spoils.
