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.
