The correct answer is option 4, Muhammad Shah. The Sayyid Brothers were powerful nobles during the early Mughal period, who controlled the empire during the reigns of several weak emperors. Bahadur Shah I, Rafi-ud-daulah, and Shah Jahan II were not directly responsible for the fall of the Sayyid Brothers. However, Muhammad Shah played a significant role in their downfall. He ascended to the Mughal throne in 1719 and was able to assert his authority over the empire. Muhammad Shah defeated and killed the Sayyid Brothers in the Battle of Hasanpur in 1720. This victory marked the end of the Sayyid Brothers` powerful influence and solidified Muhammad Shah`s position as the ruling emperor of the Mughal Empire.
