Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
The last ruler of the Mughal dynasty was Bahadurshah Zafar. The last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah II, also known as Zafar, died in a British prison in Burma in 1862. As the last of the dynastic line that extended back to the sixteenth century, he had in his earlier years presided over a culturally sophisticated court, but as the British East India Company extended its control over more of India, his rule was clearly coming to an end.
