The correct answer is option 3: Shah Jahan. The Red Fort in Delhi was constructed by Emperor Shah Jahan. It is one of the most iconic historical monuments in India, known for its magnificent architecture and grandeur. Construction of the Red Fort began in 1638 and took around 10 years to complete. It was built as the main residence for the Mughal Emperors. The fort is made of red sandstone, which gives it its distinctive color and name. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and also serves as the location for the Prime Minister`s address on Independence Day every year. The Red Fort is a symbol of the Mughal era and stands as a testament to the architectural brilliance of that period.
