Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Akbar.
The Mughal emperor known for his religious tolerance and the abolition of the Jizya tax on non-Muslims was Akbar. He introduced policies promoting religious harmony, such as the "Din-i-Ilahi," a syncretic religion aiming to blend the best elements of various faiths. Akbar abolished the Jizya tax in 1564, a tax historically levied on non-Muslims, as part of his efforts to create unity and respect among his diverse subjects. His inclusive policies made him one of the most revered Mughal rulers.
