​​D. K.R. Kanungo	IV. History of the Jats

Correct option is B

The correct matching of the groups in LIST-I with those in LIST-II is as follows:

A. Percy Brown is associated with III. Indian Architecture - Islamic Period. Percy Brown was a renowned British art historian, known for his work on Indian architecture, particularly during the Islamic period. His contributions focused on the architectural style and influence of the Mughal era and other Islamic dynasties in India.

B. Irfan Habib corresponds to I. The Agrarian system of Mughal Empire. It provides a comprehensive account of land revenue, administration, agrarian economy, and social structure in India during the Mughal period. It examines areas like agricultural production and technology; trade in agricultural produce, conditions of the peasantry; zamindars; revenue grants and assignments; and the agrarian crisis of the Mughal Empire. The volume also provides information on land measurements; weights; coinages; revenue statistics; price movements; and the village community.

C. K I Leonard corresponds to The Great Firm Theory of Mughal Empire. The "Great Firm Theory" of Mughal decline suggests that the empire's downfall was influenced by the rise of powerful financial and merchant groups, known as "great firms," which diverted resources away from the Mughal government and towards other political actors in the Indian subcontinent. These firms, initially allies of the Mughals, played a crucial role in providing credit and trade, but their increasing involvement in regional and local revenue collection and their subsequent support for regional powers like the East India Company, weakened the Mughal state.

D.K.R. Kanungo corresponds to IV. History of the Jats. K.R. Kanungo is well-known for his work on the history of the Jats, a community in India that rose to prominence during the later Mughal period and the post-Mughal era, especially in regions such as Haryana and Punjab.
