Solution

The correct options are
A Aurangzeb reimposed the jizya tax.
C Aurangzeb restored the Muslim Law of Conduct following the Quran.
D Aurangzeb prohibited the observance of Hindu festivals.
Aurangzeb was a conservative and orthodox follower of Islam. He was not as tolerant as his predecessors, and many of his decisions destroyed the unity among his subjects. He re-imposed the jizya and the pilgrimage taxes for non-Muslims and even issued ordinances to restore the Muslim Law of Conduct following the teachings of the Quran. In 1668 CE, Aurangzeb prohibited the observance of Hindu festivals.
