Your answer: — · Correct: D

Explanation

Assertion (A) is correct. The Buland Darwaja (Gate of Victory) was constructed by the Mughal Emperor Akbar at Fatehpur Sikri. It serves as the magnificent southern entrance to the Jama Masjid complex.

Reason (R) is incorrect. Akbar commissioned the Buland Darwaja to commemorate his victory over Gujarat in 1572, not the birth of his son Jahangir. While the city of Fatehpur Sikri itself was established to honor the Sufi saint Sheikh Salim Chishti (whose blessings Akbar credited for the birth of Prince Salim/Jahangir), the specific construction of this monumental gateway was a celebration of military conquest. Therefore, the assertion is true, but the reason provided is historically inaccurate.
