Solution
The correct option is C Bahadur Shah II
Bahadur Shah was the last Mughal emperor in India. He ruled over a Mughal Empire that barely extended beyond Delhi's Red Fort and had no real power in India.
After the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the British Administration exiled him from Delhi. He was sent to a prison in Rangoon, Burma and eventually died there.
