Solution

The correct option is B Karnal
Nadir Shah's invasion of Mughal Empire in 1739 led to the battle of Karnal. The Battle of Karnal was the supreme triumph of Nadir Shah, the great Persian king and military commander. It lasted only for three hours. The Persians pursued and were able to capture Muhammad Shah. Then the army marched to Delhi and looted the city, before returning to Persia.
