    D Zinat-un-Nissa Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Zeb-un-Nissa was Emperor Aurangzeb's eldest child with his chief consort Dilras Banu Begum. Beyond her royal status, she was an accomplished poet who wrote under the pen name "Makhfi." Despite her literary talents, she endured imprisonment at Salimgarh Fort in Delhi for the last 20 years of her life by order of her father. Her poetic works were posthumously compiled as "Diwan-i-Makhfi" (Complete Poetical Works of Makhfi).
