{'humayun': [2, 0, 2, 1], 'delhi': [4, 0, 4, 1], 'akbar': [7, 4, 6, 2], 'babar': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'jahi begum': [1, 0, 0, 0]}

Option 1: Babar was the founder of the Mughal Empire, but he did not construct Humayun`s tomb in Delhi. Humayun`s tomb was built after Babar`s death.

Option 2: Akbar was the son of Humayun and a great Mughal emperor, but he did not construct Humayun`s tomb. Although Akbar did commission the construction of several renowned buildings, including the Fatehpur Sikri, Humayun`s tomb was not one of them.

Option 3: Jahi Begum was the wife of Emperor Shah Jahan, who constructed the Taj Mahal, but she was not involved in the construction of Humayun`s tomb. It was built in honor of her father-in-law, Humayun.

Option 4: Humayun was the emperor for whom the tomb was constructed, so this option is incorrect as he himself did not construct it. The correct answer is option 3.

Alert - correct answer should be Humayun
