Explanation

The verified answer to “Important Battles question: Who was the founder of the Sikh Empire that the British fought in the Anglo-Sikh Wars?” is Maharaja Ranjit Singh, option B. The source-backed, question-specific record explains: Maharaja Ranjit Singh founded the Sikh Empire (Punjab Kingdom) in 1799 after capturing Lahore. He died in 1839 and his death weakened the empire leading to the Anglo-Sikh Wars. This evidence establishes the historical relationship required in this Important Battles item. Option B gives Maharaja Ranjit Singh and satisfies every condition stated in the question. The remaining choices—Banda Singh Bahadur, Guru Gobind Singh and Hari Singh Nalwa—do not satisfy the complete requirement. Replaying that method for this Important Battles question confirms Maharaja Ranjit Singh without relying on option position.
