What style of architecture is the Taj Mahal?

  1. Gothic

  2. Baroque

  3. Neoclassical

  4. Mughal

The correct answer is: Mughal

The Taj Mahal is a prime example of Mughal architecture, which originated in South Asia during the 16th century.

Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical styles were popular in Europe and would not be accurate categorizations for the Taj Mahal.
