The correct answer is (a). Akbar honoured the Kumaun King Baz Bahadur Chand with the title of âBahadurâ.
Akbar was the third Mughal emperor who ruled from 1556 to 1605. He was a great military leader and a wise administrator. He expanded the Mughal empire to its greatest extent and brought peace and prosperity to his subjects. He was also a patron of the arts and literature.
Baz Bahadur Chand was the king of Kumaun from 1556 to 1585. He was a brave and capable ruler who fought against the Mughals on several occasions. However, he was eventually defeated by Akbar and forced to pay tribute to the Mughal empire.
In 1570, Akbar honoured Baz Bahadur Chand with the title of âBahadurâ. This title means âbraveâ or âvaliantâ. It was a sign of Akbar’s respect for Baz Bahadur Chand’s courage and military prowess.
The other options are incorrect. Jahangir was the fourth Mughal emperor who ruled from 1605 to 1627. Shah Jahan was the fifth Mughal emperor who ruled from 1628 to 1658. Aurangzeb was the sixth Mughal emperor who ruled from 1658 to 1707. None of these emperors honoured Baz Bahadur Chand with the title of âBahadurâ.
