The Battle of Dharmat was indeed fought between Aurangzeb and Dara Shikoh. Let`s break down each option for better comprehension:

Option 1: Muhammad Gori and Jai Chand - This isn`t correct as Muhammad Ghori and Jaichand’s notable encounter happened at the Battle of Chandwar, not Dharmat.

Option 2: Babar and the Afghans - This is inaccurate as well. Babur, the founder of the Mughal dynasty in the Indian subcontinent, had various interactions with the Afghans, but not at Dharmat. He fought the Afghans in battles such as the Battle of Ghaghra.

Option 3: Aurangzeb and Dara Shikoh - This is indeed the correct answer. The Battle of Dharmat was fought between Aurangzeb and his brother Dara Shikoh in 1658 CE, as part of the struggle for the Mughal throne.

Option 4: Ahmad Shah Durrani and the Marathas - It`s incorrect too. Ahmad Shah Durrani, considered the founder of modern Afghanistan, fought the Marathas at the Third Battle of Panipat, not Dharmat.
