c. Rao BIka
d. Jai Singh II

Answer 1

Hint:
Taragarh Fort, or Star Fort, is a monument in the Indian state of Rajasthan in the city of Ajmer. It was founded in 1113 AD on a steep hillside.

Complete step by step solution:
Taragarh Fort was built under the reign of Ajay Raj Chauhan. It was also known as the Ajaymeru fort. In Ajmer, Taragarh Fort is situated atop the Nagpahari Hill. It is also known as the 'Fort of Ajmer' and is also regarded as Asia's first hill fort. It was built at a time when the snowlines were above the Aravalli mountain ranges. It has a history as one of the world's oldest hill fortresses. It is also referred to as the 'Star Fort,' which dates back to the 12th century.
Located 3 km beyond the Adhai-din ka Jhonpra Mosque and a steep 1.5 hour climb, the fort provides an aerial view of the whole city.
The fort has Lakshmi Pol, Phuta Darwaza, and Gagudi ki Phatak, which are the three gateways. Many parts of these gateways are still in ruins. Taragarh Fort was known for its tunnels crisscrossing the entire hillside during its heyday. These tunnels are still unavailable, however. The 16th-century bastion known as the Bhim Burj, on which a massive cannon called Garbh Gunjam, or 'Thunder from the Womb' was once built, is the largest of its battlements.
There are water sources in the fort. These reservoirs were created during times of crisis to store water and supply the people. The reservoirs have been carved from the fort's granite foundation. Rani Mahal, inside the fort complex, is a small palace built for the wives and concubines of the rulers.
Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Note: Mughal prince Dara Shikoh was born here in 1615. Jahanara Begum, a powerful Mughal princess was also born here. The fort also holds a shrine dedicated to Miran Saheb ki Dargah, who lost his life in 1202AD during a Rajput attack. Even Prithviraj Chauhan resided in the fort.
