Solution

The correct options are
A Rulers
C Nobles
D Landlords
Rulers, nobles and landlords were the main patrons of craftsmen in traditional India. When the British conquered India, the demand for the fine articles to be displayed in durbars and other ceremonial occasions disappeared. As a result, the craftsman lost their importance and became poor.
