Solution

The correct option is D Aurangzeb
Aurangzeb lacked the vision of a sensible ruler. He failed to realize that for governance of such a vast and diverse empire, religious tolerance was essential. Aurangzeb's intolerant attitude and his rigid religious policy alienated the Hindus who constituted the majority of population. He also reimposed the jiziya and the pilgrimage tax on non-Muslims.
