C.

D.

(a)-(i), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(iii)

Correct option is B

(a) Khots and Muqaddams: These terms were widely used in the northern plains. Muqaddam generally referred to the village headman, and both terms were often associated with local landed rights and power in regions like Awadh (modern Uttar Pradesh).

(b) Satarali and Bisvi: These terms were common in the Doab region (the area between the Ganga and Yamuna rivers). They referred to a share or a fractional measure of land/revenue rights held by intermediaries.

(c) Bloni/Blumia: These terms are variations of Bhumiya (from Bhumi, meaning land), which designated hereditary local chieftains or landholders who enjoyed proprietary rights, particularly prevalent in Rajasthan.

(d) Bantly/Vanth: Vanth (or Banta) refers to a portion of land granted by the state or retained by local chiefs, often in recognition of past control or service, and was a common proprietary term in Gujarat.

The correct code is: (a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(iii), (d)-(ii).
