Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
Din-e-Ilahi was an elite religious movement, formulated by the Mughal emperor Akbar in the late 16th century AD. The idea was to combine Islam and Hinduism into one faith, but also to add aspects of Christianity, Zoroastrianism and Jainism. It was not a successful movement as the successors were not as liberal and tolerant as Akbar and therefore they did not promote it. Also, the more orthodox Muslims were not ready to accept other religious practices.
