Explanation by: Admin

Humayun, the second emperor of the Mughal Empire, died in 1556.

  • He died after falling down the stairs of his library (the Sher Mandal in Delhi) while carrying books.
  • His death led to the accession of his son Akbar the Great to the throne at a young age.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • (A) 1536: Too early; Humayun was still ruling.
  • (B) 1546: He was in exile and later regained the throne.
  • (D) 1566: He had already died; Akbar was ruling by then.

Thus, Humayun died in 1556.
