Solution

The correct option is B Both 1 and 2
Any empire that weakens, loses control of its provinces with local chieftains gaining control in their areas. This is what affected both the Ottoman and Mughal empires. Further, a strong and lean military force is the need of the hour and neglect of it, leads to collapse of empires.
