What was the importance of military technology in Babur's victory at Panipat?

Correct answer: Artillery and strategy gave an advantage over a traditional army

Correct answer: A. In the First Battle of Panipat, Babur used field artillery, firearms, defensive arrangements, and tactics such as tulughma to make his smaller force more effective. These methods helped his army confront Ibrahim Lodi’s large traditional force. A is correct because artillery and organized strategy changed the conditions of battle and contributed greatly to Babur’s victory. B is wrong because poets did not command or win the battle. C is wrong because dhamma officials belonged to Ashoka’s administrative context, not Babur’s army. D is wrong because Chola naval power had no role in this land battle. Memory cue: Panipat and Babur—remember guns, tactics, and the beginning of Mughal power.
