In the given figure, we see an outline map with a shaded portion. We are required to identify which empire the shaded portion represents.

Option 1: Humayun - Humayun was the second emperor of the Mughal dynasty in India. However, the shaded portion does not correspond to the extent of Humayun`s empire, so this option can be eliminated.

Option 2: Aurangzeb - Aurangzeb was the sixth emperor of the Mughal dynasty. His empire was one of the largest in Indian history, spanning from present-day Afghanistan in the west to present-day Bangladesh in the east. However, we cannot determine from the given figure whether the shaded portion represents Aurangzeb`s empire. Therefore, this option cannot be confirmed.
