Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: a) The ancient royal palace.
Kangla Fort is a historical site in Imphal, the capital of Manipur, India. It was originally built in the 14th century by the Meitei king Meidingu Pamheiba and served as the royal palace of the Manipur kingdom until the 19th century. The fort was later used as a British colonial prison and a World War II battleground. Today, it is a popular tourist destination and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The other options are incorrect because:
- b) A colonial-era prison: Kangla Fort was used as a British colonial prison from the 19th century to the early 20th century. However, it was not originally built as a prison.
- c) A World War II battleground: Kangla Fort was a battleground during World War II. However, it was not originally built as a battleground.
- d) A sacred pilgrimage site: Kangla Fort is not a sacred pilgrimage site. It is a historical site with religious significance, but it is not a pilgrimage site.
