Correct Option: B
Ustad Mansur was given the title of Nadir-ul-asra (Unequalled of the age) by Jahangir. Mansur used to make paintings during the reign of Jahangir’s father Akbar as well, but he made fabulous paintings only during Jahangir’s time. Although largely known for his natural history illustrations, he also portrayed people in various manuscript illustrations.
