Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A Death of Aurangazeb.
B The Carnatic region witnessed political instability.

Emperor Aurangzeb was the last strong Moghul ruler; he died in 1707 CE. His successors were weak. The later Moghuls, thus, lost political control over south India. The Carnatic region also witnessed political instability.
