The source-backed, question-specific record explains: The Battle of Hajipur (1574) was fought between Akbar's forces and Daud Khan Karrani the last Afghan Sultan of Bengal. Akbar's forces captured Hajipur and Patna from the Afghans. Daud Khan fled to Bengal. This evidence establishes the historical relationship required in this Important Battles item. A correct solution must preserve the exact battle, date, participants, commander, location, outcome or significance requested by the stem. Similar periods, genres or national traditions do not make two battle facts interchangeable. Option A gives Daud Khan Karrani and satisfies every condition stated in the question. The remaining choices—Munim Khan, Khan-i-Khanan and Lohani chiefs—do not satisfy the complete requirement. The reliable checking method is to identify the named battle first, recall or verify its verified participant or outcome, and then read qualifiers such as “both works,” “original language,” “first published,” “correctly matched” or “incorrectly matched.” These qualifiers determine what counts as the answer. Replaying that method for this Important Battles question confirms Daud Khan Karrani without relying on option position.
