A. Sher Shah Suri
B. Akbar✓ Correct Answer
C. Jahangir
D. Aurangzeb
💡 Solution & Explanation
Akbar commissioned the construction of Fatehpur Sikri and established the Ibadat Khana in 1575 to engage scholars of various religions in formal theological and philosophical debates. Other rulers like Sher Shah Suri or Aurangzeb did not institute this specific house of worship for pluralistic religious discourse. Such intellectual pursuits culminated in Akbar's formulation of Din-i Ilahi.
