(a)First Battle of Panipat
(b)Second Battle of Panipat
(c)Third Battle of Panipat
(d)Fourth battle of Panipat

Answer 1

Hint: The Battle marked the beginning of the reign of Akbar in India, it can be said, since it was Akbar's first year holding the throne. On January 24, 1556, the Mughal emperor Humayun died in Delhi and his son Akbar succeeded him.
In the fight for Delhi, Samrat Hem Chandra Vikramaditya or Hemu was a Hindu emperor in Delhi because he defeated the army of Akbar/Humanyun.

Complete answer: Option A. First Battle of Panipat-
-The First Battle of Panipat was fought between the invading forces of Babur and the Lodi Kingdom, which took place on 21 April 1526 in North India. The beginning was the Mughal Empire. This was the beginning of the Mughal Empire and the end of the Delhi sultanate. It took place in north India. The First Battle of Panipat was fought between the kingdoms of Badur and Lodi. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option B. Second Battle of Panipat-
-On 5 November 1556, between the Hindu emperor of North India, Hemu, and the armies of the Mughal emperor, Akbar, the Second Battle of Panipat was fought. Hemu had captured the states of Delhi and Agra several weeks earlier by crushing the Mughals led by Tardi Beg Khan at the Battle of Delhi and by declaring himself Raja Vikramaditya at a coronation in Purana Quila in Delhi. After learning of the loss of Agra and Delhi, Akbar and his guardian, Bairam Khan, marched to Panipat to regain the lost land. In Panipat, not far from the site of the first battle of Panipat in 1526, the two armies clashed. The second fight between Akbar and Hemu was fought at Panipat. Hence, this option is correct.
Option C. Third Battle of Panipat-
-On 14 January 1761, between the Maratha Empire and the invading Afghan army, backed by three Indian allies, the Rohilla, the Afghans of the Doab region, and Shuja-ud-Daula, the Third Battle of Panipat took place in Panipat, about 97 km north of Delhi. The Third Battle of Panipat was fought between Maratha and Afghan. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option D. Fourth battle of Panipat-
-The battle lasted several days and involved over 125,000 soldiers. Protracted skirmishes happened on both sides, with casualties and gains. After having broken several Maratha flanks, the forces led by Ahmad Shah Durrani came out victorious. The fourth battle of Panipat was not fought between Akbar and Hemu. Hence, this option is incorrect.
The Second Battle of Panipat between Akbar and Hemu was fought in 1556.
Hence, Option B. Second Battle of Panipat is the correct answer.

Note: A month later, during the Second Battle of Panipat, Hemu was hit by an accidental arrow and caught unconscious. Shortly thereafter, Akbar's regent, Bairam Khan, decapitated the nearly dead Hemu.
-At the site of his beheading, which still exists in the village of Saudhapur, on Jind Road at Panipat, Hemu's followers created a cenotaph.
-Several hours after the war had ended, Shah Quli Khan Mahram had found and captured the dead Hemu and taken him to Akbar's tent in the Panipat camp.
