The correct answer is option 1, Babur. Babur was the first to make use of artillery in warfare in medieval India. Artillery refers to large firearms such as cannons and mortars used in warfare. Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire in India, introduced artillery during his military campaigns. He had access to advanced artillery technology and effectively utilized it in battles to gain an advantage over his opponents. This innovation revolutionized warfare in medieval India, as the use of artillery provided a significant boost in firepower and changed the dynamics of battles. It allowed Babur to overcome the traditional methods of warfare and establish his rule in India. Therefore, Babur is credited as the first to make use of artillery in medieval India.
