Solution

The correct options are
A Ahoms
B Sikhs
D Marathas
Aurangazeb unlike his predecessors was in conflict with a number of different martial groups - The Ahoms, the Sikhs, and the Marathas. The Ahoms were the people of the Shaan community who settled along the valleys of Brahmaputra in the thirteenth century. The Sikhs had already organised themselves into a militant organisation - the Khalsa Dal! Or the Khalsa army. The Marathas under the leadership of Shivaji were constantly at war with the Mughals. This delayed Mughal intervention in South India.
