Who was the first Mughal ruler who fought against the British?
Detailed Explanation:
Aurangzeb was the first Mughal ruler to engage in armed conflict with the British during Child's War (1686–1690). The conflict arose when Sir Josiah Child, governor of the English East India Company, interfered in trade negotiations, prompting Aurangzeb to break off talks and the Company to initiate hostilities.
Shah Jahan and Jahangir granted trading privileges to the British but never fought them. Bahadur Shah Zafar led the 1857 Revolt, occurring much later and marking the end of Mughal rule.
Therefore, Aurangzeb being the first Mughal to fight the British, Option 1 is the correct answer.
