Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: Unparalleled
Explanation:
The passage describes Birbal's wisdom as being beyond comparison during Emperor Akbar's reign. 'Unparalleled' means having no equal or match, so it directly expresses this idea.
Other choices are less suitable:
• 'Famous' and 'Popular' only indicate being well-known or liked; they do not convey uniqueness or superiority.
• 'Discussed' means talked about and is irrelevant to showing that his wisdom was unmatched.
Therefore, 'Unparalleled' best captures the intended meaning of the sentence and is the correct choice.
