Solution

The correct option is C Hindus
Jizya was a tax levied by the Muslim rulers on Hindu residents of the territory in return for their protection. In India, Qutb-ud-din Aibak imposed jizya for the first time. Jizya was abolished by the Mughal ruler Akbar in the 16th century but was re-introduced by Aurangzeb in the 17th century.
