Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Delhi is home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Red Fort Complex, the Qutub Minar and its monuments, and Humayun's Tomb. The Red Fort (Lal Qila) was designated as a UNESCO site in 2007, representing the peak of Mughal architectural creativity under Emperor Shah Jahan [1]. Humayun's Tomb, inscribed in 1993, was the first substantial example of Mughal architecture in India and served as an inspiration for the Taj Mahal [2]. The Qutub Minar and its surrounding monuments, including the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque, were built in the early 13th century and are recognized for their historical and cultural significance [4]. While monuments like the Jama Masjid and India Gate are iconic landmarks of Delhi, they do not currently hold the UNESCO World Heritage Site status [1]. Therefore, Manav will visit the Red Fort, Qutub Minar, and Humayun's Tomb.
