Solution

The correct option is B Sikandar Adil Shah
Sikandar Adil Shah was the ruler of Bijapur at the time of Aurangzeb invasion on it. He was placed on the throne of Bijapur in 1672 at four years of age. Therefore, his reign (1672–1686) is one of regents and ministers and was marked by chronic civil war among factious nobles, independence of provincial governors, paralysis of the central administration, Mughal invasions, secret alliances but pretend hostilities with the Maratha Empire and other neighbors, and the final absorption of Bijapur into the Mughal Empire in 1686.
