Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1637

Explanation: The correct answer is B. 1637. Ahmednagar Sultanate, one of the five Deccan Sultanates, was ruled by the Nizam Shahi dynasty. It faced continuous conflict with the Mughal Empire, particularly under Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan. Although Mughals began their campaigns against Ahmednagar during Akbar’s reign, the final annexation took place under Shah Jahan in 1637.
