The correct answer is "2 only."
The arrival of Babur into India did not lead to the introduction of gunpowder, as gunpowder was already known and used in the region before Babur`s arrival.
However, the introduction of the arch and dome in the region`s architecture can be attributed to the Mughal Empire, which Babur established. Mughal architecture, characterized by the prominent use of arches and domes, had a significant impact on the architectural style of the Indian subcontinent.
Therefore, the correct answer is "2 only."
