🧠 Explanation:

  • The Mughal Empire was founded in 1526 by Babur after his victory at the Battle of Panipat.
  • The empire gradually declined and officially ended in 1857 after the British exiled the last emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar, following the War of Independence.
  • This period marked significant developments in art, architecture, administration, and culture across the Indian subcontinent.
  • Hence, the correct answer is 1526–1857, making option (A) accurate.
