The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Haldighati.

• Rana Pratap Singh fought against the Mughals at Haldighati in 1576.
• The Battle of Haldighati took place on 18 June 1576 between Maharana Pratap, the ruler of Mewar, and the Mughal army led by Raja Man Singh I of Amber.
• The conflict occurred at Haldighati Pass in Rajasthan, a narrow mountain pass in the Aravalli Range, linking the districts of Pali and Rajsamand.
• The Mughal army reportedly fielded around 28,000 soldiers, whereas Maharana Pratap’s forces included approximately 4,000 cavalrymen and 3,000 Bhil tribal warriors.
