Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Punjab.
After Humayun's death in 1556, the young Akbar was coronated at Kalanaur, a historic town in present-day Punjab (now in Pakistan's Punjab province). This location was strategically chosen as Akbar's guardian, Bairam Khan, was consolidating Mughal power against Hemu's forces.
The ceremony marked the beginning of Akbar's 49-year reign, which expanded the Mughal Empire. While Kalanaur is near the Rajasthan border, it falls within Punjab's geographical and historical context.
