    D.

    More than one of the above

    E.

    None of the above

    Correct option is C

    Correct Answer: (C) Asirgarh
    Explanation
    → The siege of the fortress of Asirgarh in the Khandesh region is historically recognized as the final military conquest of the Mughal Emperor Akbar.

    → This victory took place in 1601, just a few years before his death in 1605.
    → The fort was considered nearly impregnable, and its fall marked the complete submission of the Khandesh region to Mughal authority.
    → It was a strategic victory that secured the gateway to the Deccan for the Mughal Empire.
    Information Booster

    → The Asirgarh campaign lasted for about six months before the fort was surrendered.
    → Akbar reportedly used golden keys (symbolic or literal bribery) to open the gates of the fort after a long siege.
    → The victory led to the annexation of Khandesh, which Akbar renamed 'Dandesh' in honor of his son Daniyal.
    → This occurred during his Deccan Policy phase.
    → Following this victory, Akbar returned to Agra to deal with the rebellion of his son, Prince Salim.
    Additional Information
    Option (A) Gondwana: The conquest of Gondwana occurred much earlier in his reign (1564), famous for the resistance of Rani Durgavati.
    Option (B) Gujarat: Akbar conquered Gujarat in 1572-73, a victory he commemorated by building the Buland Darwaza at Fatehpur Sikri.
