Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Battle of Khanwa was fought on March 17, 1527, between the first Mughal Emperor, Babur, and the Rajput confederacy led by Rana Sanga of Mewar [t2][t4]. Following his victory over Ibrahim Lodi at Panipat in 1526, Babur faced a significant challenge from Rana Sanga, who sought to drive the Mughals out of India [t3][t6]. The battle took place at Khanwa, near Agra, where Babur utilized superior military tactics, including a defensive ring of wagons and artillery, to defeat the numerically superior Rajput forces [c1][t5]. Rana Sanga's army was supported by Afghan allies like Mahmud Lodi and Hasan Khan Mewati, but they were ultimately unsuccessful [c1][t4]. This victory was a turning point that consolidated Mughal rule in Northern India and shifted the power balance away from the Rajput confederacy [t1][t2].
