Who among the following was the successor of Mughal Emperor, Babur?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Humayun.

The successor of Mughal Emperor Babur was his son, Humayun. After Babur’s death in 1530, Humayun ascended the throne as the second ruler of the Mughal Empire. However, his reign was marked by struggles, including conflicts with Afghan ruler Sher Shah Suri, who defeated him in 1540, forcing him into exile. Humayun later regained the throne in 1555 with Persian support but died the following year. His brief restoration paved the way for his son, Akbar, who became one of the greatest Mughal emperors.
