Correct answer: C
Correct chronological order: Second Battle of Tarain (1192) → Battle of Khanwa (1527) → Battle of Haldighati (1576).
Second Battle of Tarain (1192): Muhammad Ghori defeated Prithviraj Chauhan; marks the establishment of Muslim rule in northern India.
Battle of Khanwa (1527): Babur defeated the Rajput confederacy under Rana Sanga; consolidation of Mughal power after the First Battle of Panipat.
Battle of Haldighati (1576): Conflict between Akbar's forces and Maharana Pratap of Mewar; part of Mughal expansion in Rajputana.
Memory tip: Think earliest to latest by century: 12th century Tarain (1192), then 16th century Khanwa (1527), then later in the 16th century Haldighati (1576).
