The Mughal emperor Akbar was born in the palace of Raja Veersal of Amarkot (Umarkot) in Sindh (present-day Pakistan). This occurred in 1542, during the exile of his father, Humayun, who had been forced to seek refuge after his defeat by Sher Shah Suri. The correct answer is (A) Akbar.

Emperor Akbar was born in 1542 in the fortress of Amarkot (Umarkot) in Sindh. At the time, his father, Emperor Humayun, was a fugitive, desperately seeking shelter after his expulsion from India by Sher Shah Suri. The local Hindu ruler, Raja Veersal, generously offered protection to Humayun and his pregnant wife, Hamida Banu Begum. This birth under unusual circumstances symbolized the Mughal dynasty’s resilience and played a psychological role in strengthening Akbar’s later policies of religious tolerance and inclusion.
