Solution

The correct option is B Sikandar Adil Shah
Sikandar Adil Shah, the then ruler of Bijapur who refused to be a vassal of the Mughal Empire. Sikandar Adil Shah had suffered many wounds during the siege and ultimately died on 12 September 1686, and the Adil Shahi dynasty came to an end. Aurangzeb then appointed Syed Mian (father of the Sayyid Brothers) as the first Mughal Subedar of Bijapur. Hence, Option A is correct.
