B Correct answer
Explanation

Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb in the Red Fort at Agra, where he spent his final years (1658-1666). From the Mussaman Burj in the fort, he could view the Taj Mahal, which he had built for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal itself is a mausoleum, not a residence. Hawa Mahal was built much later in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh in Jaipur.
