Answer 1

Hint: Maharana Sangram Singh Sisodia, popularly known as Rana Sanga, was an Indian king of Mewar and leader of a powerful Rajputan confederacy in Rajputan during the 16th century. Sanga had succeeded his father, Rana Raimal, as King of Mewar in 1508.

Complete answer:
Babur (14 February 1483 – 26 December 1530), born Zahir ud-Din Muhammad, was the father of the Mughal Empire and the first emperor of the Mughal dynasty (1526–1530) in the Indian subcontinent. He was a descendant of Timur and Genghis Khan by his father and mother. Rajput (from Sanskrit raja-putra, "son of a king") is a broad multi-component community of castes, kin organs, and local communities, who share the social status and the philosophy of genealogical descent from the Indian subcontinent.

Khanwa's Battle: It was fought in the vicinity of the village of Khanwa on 16 March 1527 in Rajasthan's Bharatpur district. After the battle of Panipat it was between the first Mughal Emperor of Babur's invasion force and the Rajput forces led by Rana Sanga of Mewar. The triumph of the war consolidated the modern Mughal empire in India. Rana sanga was delayed in reaching the battlefield, which was perceived to be the key reason for his failure.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Note: The First Battle of Panipat, on 21 April 1526, was waged between the Babur invasion forces and the Lodi dynasty. It took place in northern India, marking the advent of the Mughal Dynasty and the culmination of the Delhi Sultanate.
