Correct option is D
The Second Battle of Panipat was fought on
November 5, 1556, between the forces of
Akbar, under the command of
Bairam Khan, and the local king
Hemu (also known as Hem Chandra Vikramaditya), who had established himself as a ruler of North India. The battle took place near the town of
Panipat, about 80 km north of Delhi. It was a significant event in the history of India as it marked the re-establishment of
Mughal rule after Humayun’s death and Akbar’s ascent to the throne. Hemu, who was leading a large army, was defeated by Akbar’s forces due to strategic military manoeuvres and the death of Hemu from an arrow strike.
