Correct option is D
The Humayun's Tomb is not associated with Jahangir. This iconic mausoleum was built by Hamida Banu Begum, the widow of Humayun, and was commissioned in 1565 AD during the reign of Akbar, Jahangir’s father. It was completed in 1572 and is often considered the first grand example of Mughal architecture in India that combined Persian influence with Indian architectural styles.
On the other hand, the other three places mentioned are either directly or indirectly associated with Jahangir’s era:
Kala Burz in Lahore was a part of the architectural landscape during Jahangir's rule and is often linked to the Mughal construction projects in the region.
The Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah, located in Agra, was commissioned by Nur Jahan, Jahangir’s wife, for her father Mirza Ghiyas Beg (Itimad-ud-Daulah), a prominent figure in Jahangir’s court. It is notable as a forerunner to the Taj Mahal.
Nishat Bagh is a famous Mughal garden in Kashmir developed during Jahangir’s reign by Asif Khan, Nur Jahan’s brother.
Therefore, the only monument listed that predates Jahangir and has no association with his reign is Humayun’s Tomb.
Information Booster:
Humayun’s Tomb was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent. It is a UNESCO World Heritage. Built in Persian style, it was designed by Persian architect Mirak Mirza Ghiyas. Located in Delhi, it represents the beginning of the Mughal architectural era in India.
Jahangir’s contributions to architecture are more visible in gardens and tombs commissioned by his wife, Nur Jahan. The Itimad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb is sometimes called “Baby Taj” and is noted for its intricate pietra dura inlay work. Jahangir had a deep love for nature and gardens, which is reflected in structures like Nishat Bagh and Shalimar Bagh.
