Who among the following took greater interest in laying out gardens than others?

The correct answer is: C. Jahangir

Jahangir was the fourth Mughal emperor who ruled from 1605 to 1627. He was known for his love of nature and his patronage of the arts. He was also a skilled poet and calligrapher.

Jahangir took great interest in laying out gardens. He built many beautiful gardens during his reign, including the Shalimar Bagh in Lahore, the Nishat Bagh in Srinagar, and the Alamgir Bagh in Agra.

The other options are incorrect because:

• Humayun was the second Mughal emperor who ruled from 1530 to 1556. He was not known for his love of gardens.
• Babur was the first Mughal emperor who ruled from 1526 to 1530. He was also not known for his love of gardens.
• Akbar was the third Mughal emperor who ruled from 1556 to 1605. He was interested in gardens, but not to the same extent as Jahangir.
