The correct answer is B) Jahangir.

Muqarrab Khan was a prominent nobleman and high-ranking official during the reign of Emperor Jahangir (1605-1627). He held important posts, including governor of Gujarat, and was often entrusted with sensitive assignments, such as leading diplomatic missions and dealing with foreign traders like the English East India Company representatives (e.g., Captain Hawkins and Sir Thomas Roe). He was known to be a particular favourite of Jahangir.

Muqarrab Khan’s career flourished primarily under Jahangir. While he might have served under Akbar, his rise to prominence and his close relationship with the emperor were characteristic of Jahangir’s court. Farrukhsiyar and Shah Alam belong to much later periods of Mughal rule.
