The Leaning Tower of Pisa's lean was reduced from 5.5 degrees to approximately 3.99 degrees through engineering interventions (1990-2001) that stabilized the foundation and partially corrected the tilt. The tower had been leaning since construction began in 1173.

The Taj Mahal construction began in 1632 and took approximately 21 years to complete, finishing around 1653. This matches the historical timeline of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan's monument to his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Options A (1643) and C (1649) are too early, while D (1659) is too late.

The Roman Colosseum, originally known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, was indeed constructed during the Flavian Dynasty. Emperor Vespasian began construction around 70-72 AD, and it was completed in 80 AD under his son Titus. The Nervan-Antonian and Severan dynasties came later.
