The 'Din-i-ilahi' Was Founded By :

A: Akbar The Great
B: Jehangir
C: Aurangzeb
D: Tipu-Sultan

The answer is: A

Explanation

The Din-i-Ilahi was founded by Akbar the Great, the Mughal emperor, in the late 16th century. The religion was a syncretic one, combining elements of Islam, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and Christianity, among others.

Jehangir was Akbar's son and successor, but he did not found the Din-i-Ilahi. Instead, he followed the religion of his ancestors, Islam.

Aurangzeb was another Mughal emperor, who ruled during the 17th century. He was known for his strict adherence to Islam and his opposition to the syncretic religious practices of his predecessors, including Akbar's Din-i-Ilahi.

Tipu Sultan was a ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore in South India, who lived in the 18th century. He was not associated with the Din-i-Ilahi in any way.
