Answer: Aurangzeb and Dara Shukoh

Option c is the correct answer The battle of Dharmat was fought during the Mughal War of Succession (1658-1659) by Aurangzeb against Jaswant Singh Rathore who was allied with the Mughal prince Dara Shikoh. Despite Rajput valor, Jaswant's ill-prepared forces suffered heavy casualties. Aurangzeb's triumph boosted his prestige and set the stage for further successes in his quest for the Mughal throne.
