Solution

The correct option is B Aurangzeb
Jizyah, historically, was a tax paid by non-Muslim populations to their Muslim rulers. It was paid as a sign of submission and gave the non Muslims some legal protection in return. Aurangzeb reversed the policy of his predecessors toward non-Muslim subjects by reimposing the jizyah on non-Muslims.
