Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
(A) Akbar Nama — this matches (II) Abu’l Fazl. Akbar’s court historian Abu’l Fazl worked on it from 1589 to 1602; its third book is the Ain-i Akbari.
(B) Humayun Nama — this matches (IV) Gulbadan Begum. Babur’s daughter Gulbadan Begum began to write it in about 1587; it gives a glimpse of the domestic world of the Mughals.

(D) Alamgir Nama — this matches (III) Muhammad Kazim. This history of the first ten years of Aurangzeb’s reign was compiled by Muhammad Kazim in 1668.
