- DMalik Ambar was defeated in a battle with Mughals in 1631 and the entire royal family was killed by the Mughal troops.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because the Nizam Shahi dynasty of Ahmednagar was finally extinguished during the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. In 1632, the Mughal commander Mahabat Khan captured the strategic Daulatabad fort. Following this victory, Ahmednagar was formally annexed into the Mughal Empire in 1633. The last significant ruler, Husain Shah, was captured and sent to the Gwalior fort for life imprisonment, effectively ending the dynasty. While Malik Ambar had previously resisted the Mughals successfully, his death in 1626 weakened the state, leading to its eventual collapse under his successors.
