Solution

The correct option is B Muhammad Shah
The Peacock Throne was a famous jeweled throne that was the seat of the Mughal emperors of India. Muhammad Shah was the last Mughal Emperor to sit on the throne because the Mughal Empire was continuously declining. And In February 1739, Nadir Shah captured Delhi and took away the Peacock Throne with him as the trophy of victory.
