Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B(औरंगजेब)
मुगल बादशाह औरंगजेब को कट्टर सुन्नी मुसलमान 'जिंदा पीर' (जीवित संत) और कुछ समकालीन लेखक 'शाही दरवेश' कहते थे। इसका कारण उसका सादा और संयमित व्यक्तिगत जीवन था। वह मदिरापान, जुआ, नृत्य-संगीत और अन्य विलासिताओं से पूर्णतः दूर रहता था तथा कुरान की आयतें लिखकर एवं टोपियां सिलकर अपना व्यक्तिगत खर्च चलाता था और दूसरों पर जो नियम लागू करता था, उनका स्वयं निष्ठापूर्वक पालन करता था।
Mughal emperor Aurangzeb was referred to as 'Zinda Pir' (Living Saint) by orthodox Muslims and 'Shahi Darvesh' (Royal Ascetic) by contemporary chroniclers due to his austere and strictly disciplined personal lifestyle. He abstained completely from alcohol, gambling, courtly ostentation, and sensory pleasures, rigorously adhered to Islamic law (Sharia), and even met his personal living expenses by sewing caps and copying the Quran.
