Answer 1

Hint: The Adil dynasty or Adil Shahi dynasty was Shia Muslim centred in Bijapur and was known for its huge contribution in defining new hights in the filed of painting, arts, music and many tremendous architecture structures.The “Jagadguru Badshah” was given to one who was kind and generous to all.

Complete answer:
All the sultans of Adil Shahi dynasty had their share of huge contributions in different fields of arts, literature and culture making them one of the refined pieces of work. Let's find each of their contributions in making it the era of victory.

Yusuf Adil Shah:- The founder and creator of Adil Shahi dynasty was Yusuf Adil Khan. He was one of the fearless soldiers and a passionate poet of his time. He defeated the Bahmans in order to be an independent sultan in Bijapur. He was a follower of shiism and contributed mostly in navy maintenance in Goa, But all this doesn’t show his kind acceptance to all the religion and thus this option isn’t correct.

Ibrahim Adil Shah II:- The sultan in whose era, Adil Shahi dynasty was at its peak and was taking big steps in spreading its kingdom was sultan Ibrahim Adil Shah. He was muslim but his love and humbless for the Hindu customs, culture and belief showed that he was not confined to any particular religion and this made him the “Jagadguru Badshah”. So this is the correct option.

Sikandar Adil Shah:-The region under this sultan was full of many chronic wars and disputes resulting in weakening of the dynasty and mughal intrusion . He was given the responsibility of throne at the age of 4. So this option isn't correct.

Ali Adil Shah:- His major contribution in the dynasty notes back at the beginning of the Bijapuri style of painting and local arts mixed with different views of Ishalmic and South Hindu principles. This option too isn’t correct.

The correct answer is option B.

Note:The significant contribution of all the sultans in making dynasty as the golden era of arts, customs and refined literature and language helped in finding the sultan for “Jagadguru Badshah”.
