The first option is indeed the correct answer:

Ahmadnagar was annexed into the Mughal Empire, and Husain Shah was consigned to life imprisonment.

The Nizam Shahi dynasty of Ahmadnagar came to an end when the Mughal Empire, under the rule of Emperor Shah Jahan, annexed Ahmadnagar. Husain Shah, the ruler of Ahmadnagar at that time, was captured by the Mughals and sentenced to life imprisonment. This event marked the end of the Nizam Shahi dynasty`s rule over Ahmadnagar.
