The correct answer is A. Zorawar Singh.

Zorawar Singh was a Dogra general who served under Maharaja Gulab Singh of Jammu and Kashmir. He is best known for his conquest of Ladakh in 1834.

Zorawar Singh was born in 1786 in the village of Sialkot in the Punjab region of British India. He joined the army of Maharaja Ranjit Singh of the Sikh Empire at a young age and quickly rose through the ranks. In 1822, he was appointed the commander of the Sikh army in the Ladakh region.

In 1834, Zorawar Singh led a campaign to conquer Ladakh. The Ladakhis were initially successful in repelling the Dogra forces, but Zorawar Singh eventually succeeded in capturing Leh, the capital of Ladakh. He then went on to conquer Baltistan and Zanskar.
