Option 1: John Hawkins - The correct answer. He was sent as an ambassador by James 1, the king of England, to the royal court of Jahangir. John Hawkins was an English sea captain and pirate who later became a prominent figure in English history. He was known for his involvement in the slave trade and his exploration exploits. As an ambassador, he would have represented the interests of England and engaged in diplomatic discussions with Jahangir and his court.

Option 2: William Todd - There is no historical evidence or record of William Todd being sent as an ambassador to the royal court of Jahangir. This option is incorrect.

Option 3: Sir Thomas Roe - Although Sir Thomas Roe was an ambassador in the 17th century, he was sent as an ambassador to the Mughal court of Emperor Jahangir by James I of England, not to the royal court of Jahangir. This option is incorrect.

Option 4: Sir Walter Raleigh - Sir Walter Raleigh was a prominent figure in English history, but he was not sent as an ambassador to the royal court of Jahangir by James I. This option is incorrect.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 1: John Hawkins.
