Shah Jahan was the fifth Mughal Emperor (r. 1628-1658) and is renowned for building the Taj Mahal as a mausoleum for his wife Mumtaz Mahal.

Option C (Genghis Khan) founded the Mongol Empire in the 13th century, not the Mughal Empire (which was founded by Babur in the 16th century). Option D (Ashoka) was a Mauryan emperor from ancient India (3rd century BCE), not the Mughal period (1526-1857).
