Answer: (Detailed Solution Below)

Option A: Buland Darwaza

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Buland Darwaza”.
The Buland Darwaza, or "High Gate," is a grand gateway built by Emperor Akbar in 1575 at Fatehpur Sikri to commemorate his victory over Gujarat.

The Mughal emperor Shah Jahan built the Jama Masjid in Delhi between 1644 and 1656.

Qutb-ud-din Aibak began building the Qutb Minar in 1193 as a victory tower and possibly a watchtower, shortly after defeating Delhi's last Hindu kingdom. Aibak was a deputy of Muhammad of Ghor, who founded the Delhi Sultanate after Ghor's death.

The Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (1628–1658) commissioned the Taj Mahal in 1632 to serve as the tomb of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
