Solution

The correct option is C Bijapur and Golconda
The Deccan Policy of Aurangzeb was very aggressive. He spent the last 25 years of his life (1682-1707) in the Deccan. He was an advocate of direct conquest of the Deccan states due to the strategic importance of the Deccan states and the administrative and economic necessity of the Mughal empire. He was appointed as Viceroy of the Deccan during Shah Jahan's reign. He went on to capture Baglana, then Golconda and then Bijapur during his viceroyalty.
