Correct Answer:
C. Sasaram
Explanation:
The correct answer is Option C: Sasaram.
The tomb of Sher Shah Suri is a magnificent mausoleum located in Sasaram, Bihar, situated within the Rohtas district. Constructed between 1540 and 1545, this red sandstone structure is a premier example of Indo-Islamic architecture and is often referred to as the second Taj Mahal of India. The three-story octagonal building stands impressively at 122 feet tall in the center of a large, square artificial lake, connected to the mainland by a stone causeway. It was designed by the architect Alawal Khan and commissioned by Sher Shah Suri himself as his final resting place, though it was ultimately completed by his son, Islam Shah, following Sher Shah's accidental death in 1545.
