Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. was one of the glorious periods.
- The phrase "the one glorious periods" is grammatically incorrect.
- Instead, it should be "one of the glorious periods" to convey the idea that Akbar's reign was one among several glorious periods in Indian history.
- Using "one of" properly indicates that there were multiple glorious periods, among which Akbar's reign was included.
