Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Pathar Masjid (The Stone Mosque) is one of Srinagar's key infrastructures of faith and culture. Built by Nur Jahan, the queen wife of Mughal emperor Jahangir, in 1623 AD, the mosque is also known as Naev Masjid (New Mosque) and Shahi-i-Masjid (Royal Mosque) as well. This is perhaps the only mosque other than Jamia Masjid that is mentioned in history, repeatedly.
