Shah Jahan
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- Jahangir: Akbar's son, Salim, took the title Jahangir, which means 'Conqueror of the World', when he succeeded Akbar. Jahangir's reign is noted for the further consolidation of the Mughal Empire and his patronage of the arts.
- Shah Jahan: Akbar's grandson and Jahangir's son, who is well known for commissioning the Taj Mahal. Shah Jahan’s reign is later in the timeline of the Mughal Empire.
- Badshah: This is a common title meaning 'Emperor', used by many Mughal rulers, but it was not specifically the title Salim took upon his accession.
