The correct option is C
Both 1 and 2
Explanation:
Statement 1 is incorrect: The first voyage of the English East India Company was made in 1601 when its ships sailed to the Spice Islands of Indonesia. In 1608 it decided to open a factory at Surat on the West coast of India and sent Captain Hawkins to Jahangir’s Court to obtain Royal favours.
Statement 2 is incorrect: In 1615 their ambassador Sir Thomas Roe reached the Mughal Court. They also exerted pressure on the Mughal authorities by taking advantage of India’s naval weakness and harassing Indian traders and shipping to the Red Sea and to Mecca.
