Answer 1

The correct option is C The Mughals believed in the rule of primogeniture.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The Mughals did not believe in the rule of primogeniture, where the eldest son inherited his father’s estate. Instead, they followed the Mughal and Timurid custom of coparcenary inheritance, or a division of the inheritance amongst all the sons.
