Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Bahadur Shah Il.
The Mughal emperor during the Revolt of 1857 was Bahadur Shah II, also known as Bahadur Shah Zafar. He was the last Mughal emperor, and his reign marked the end of the Mughal dynasty. Bahadur Shah Zafar played a symbolic role in the uprising as Indian rebels declared him the leader of their rebellion against British rule. Following the suppression of the revolt, he was captured by the British, tried, and exiled to Rangoon (present-day Yangon, Myanmar), where he died in 1862.
