Correct answer: C
Answer: Rai Singh of Bikaner was granted the jagirs of Shamshabad and Nurpur and given the title 'Rai' by Emperor Akbar.
Brief explanation:
Rai Singh of Bikaner was a Rajput ruler who served in the Mughal administration and military campaigns.
As a reward for his service and loyalty, Akbar granted him land revenues (jagirs) of Shamshabad and Nurpur and conferred the honorary title 'Rai'.
Other notable nobles like Man Singh of Amer held different jagirs and honors, but the specific grants named here belong to Rai Singh of Bikaner.
Thus, the correct choice is Rai Singh of Bikaner.
