Hint: The setup of the “Chain of Justice” was brought into effect by the fourth emperor of the Mughal Kingdom. When he was a child his father always called him by the name Shekhu Baba. During his rule, the Mughal Paintings attained a high and rich heritage culture.

Complete answer:
“Chain of Justice” was set up by Jahangir. He was the elder son of ‘The Great-Akbar' and ‘Mariam-uz-Zamani’. He was born in Fatehpur Sikri on the 31st of August, 1569. His original childhood name was Nur-ud-din Muhammad Salim but later, change it to Jahangir. It is a Persian word which means ‘conqueror of the world’. He was married to Nur Jahan at an early age. He ruled as a Mughal Emperor for a total of 22 years from 3rd November 1605 to 28th October 1627. He is famous in Indian History for Chain of Justice. This chain was made up of 120 kilograms of gold and there were 60 bells of gold strung to it. The bell was hung from a 25-meter tower in the Agra fort and to the bank of the river Yamuna. The purpose of hanging such a vast bell was to make sure that everyone gets justice under his rule. Those who were in want of justice can come to the court to pull their chain to make their complaints filed under the king. This system of chains became very famous and people from all over the region started coming to him with the hope of getting justice.

So, the correct option is Option C.

Note Jahangir was a child whom everyone thought of no value and no worth since his childhood. It is said that when he ascended the throne of Emperor, there was a complete shut down in the Mughal Dynasty and everyone opposed this decision but laterward he won the heart of everyone by his decisions and kindness. The love story of Jahangir i.e. Salim and Anarkali is still famous in the whole world and is portrayed in many films and novels.
