Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Akbar’s reign is recorded in the Akbarnama by Abu'l-Fazl, so Akbar is not the subject of Padshahnama.
Jahangir wrote his own memoirs called the Tuzk-e-Jahangiri (Jahangirnama), which are distinct from Padshahnama.
Humayun is not the subject of Padshahnama; this chronicle is specific to Shah Jahan.
