This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2015 Paper 1 Question Paper (27-Dec-2015)
The correct answer is

Jahangir

Jahangir visited Kashmir several times and wrote a long description of the valley in his memoirs, the Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri.

There he records its crops, fruits, customs and trade, and notes that salt was not produced in Kashmir and had to be brought in from Hindustan.

Babur's memoirs predate the conquest of Kashmir, Akbar left no memoirs of his own, and Shah Jahan's reign is known through court chronicles rather than personal accounts.

Hence, Jahangir.
