Solution

The correct option is A handing over the kingdom to the eldest son
Mughals did not believe in the idea of primogeniture as far succession plans of their empire was concerned. They believed in coparcenary inheritance. Handing over the kingdom to the eldest son is called primogeniture. Division of the empire among all sons is called coparcenary inheritance.
