B Correct answer
Explanation

European paintings were introduced in the Mughal court during Jahangir's reign (1605-1627). Jesuit missionaries brought European artworks, and Jahangir patronized their synthesis with Persian miniature styles. Akbar had contact with European art but Jahangir's court saw the flourishing of this fusion, while Shah Jahan and Humayun were not primarily associated with this development.
