Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
Aurangzeb banished fine arts from his court but never imposed a complete ban on music.. He was the sixth and last effective Mughal emperor. He found arts and music distasteful unlike his forefathers. Generous support given by his predecessors to learning and the arts was almost completely withdrawn. The downfall of the Mughal Empire began due to his policy of religious intolerance. His policies of persecution of Shias, Sufis and non-Muslims to impose practices of orthodox Islamic state led to numerous rebellions.
