Question 10 • World History

Which best explains how Babur’s rule of the Mughal Empire influenced Akbar’s rule?

Answer
A
Babur’s belief in taxes inspired Akbar to tax both Muslims and non-Muslims.
B
Babur’s respect for other beliefs inspired Akbar to promote religious tolerance.
C
Babur’s use of military power inspired Akbar to expand the size of the Empire.
D
Babur’s respect for architecture inspired Akbar to build the Taj Mahal.

Explanation

Babur established Mughal rule through military conquest, giving Akbar a powerful empire to build on. Akbar used military campaigns to expand that empire further, so C best describes the influence. The Taj Mahal was built much later under Shah Jahan, not Akbar.
