The successful conclusion of the long-standing war with Mewar and the signing of the Treaty of Chittor in 1615 are major achievements of Jahangir’s reign. His son, Prince Khurram (Shah Jahan), led the campaign that finally compelled Rana Amar Singh of Mewar to accept Mughal suzerainty on very honorable terms.

The ultimate end to the century-long war with Mewar and the subsequent Treaty of Chittor in 1615 were achievements of Jahangir’s reign. Jahangir’s son, Prince Khurram, led the campaign that forced Rana Amar Singh (son of Rana Pratap) to negotiate. The treaty was highly conciliatory: the Rana accepted Mughal suzerainty but was not compelled to attend court and the fort of Chittor was returned on the condition it was not fortified. This successful resolution secured lasting peace with the most defiant Rajput house. The correct answer is (C) Jahangir.
