Shah Jahan _ the great mosque at Delhi.
Correct answer: A. Founded
- A. Founded
- B. Created
- C. Raised
- D. Established
Explanation
Founded is the more appropriate word in this context because it signifies the establishment or initiation of the construction of the mosque. "Created" might imply a more artistic or creative act, which doesn't accurately describe the process of building a mosque.
