Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Battle of Khanwa was fought on March 17, 1527, between the Mughal Emperor Babur and the Rajput confederacy led by Rana Sanga of Mewar [t3][t6]. Following his victory at the First Battle of Panipat in 1526 against Ibrahim Lodi, Babur faced a significant challenge from the Rajputs who sought to limit Mughal expansion [c2][c4]. The encounter took place at Khanwa, near Agra, where Babur utilized superior artillery and tactical maneuvers to defeat the formidable Rajput forces [c2][t6]. This victory was crucial as it consolidated Mughal power in North India and removed the most significant internal threat to Babur's nascent empire [t6]. Other battles in this period include the Battle of Chanderi (1528) against Medini Rai and the Battle of Ghagra (1529) against Afghan forces [c1][t4][t6].
