Correct option is D
All three of the European travelers mentioned — William Hawkins, William Finch, and Francisco Pelsaert — visited India during the reign of Emperor Jahangir (1605–1627) and provided valuable accounts of his reign.
1. William Hawkins:
William Hawkins, an English traveler, arrived in the Mughal court in 1608. He was the ambassador of the East India Company and met Emperor Jahangir in an attempt to secure trading rights for the British. His accounts provide important insights into the Mughal court and Jahangir's reign.
2. William Finch:
William Finch accompanied William Hawkins to India in 1608. Finch traveled extensively within India and his detailed observations on the political, economic, and social conditions of the Mughal Empire under Jahangir's rule have been valuable to historians.
3. Francisco Pelsaert:
Francisco Pelsaert was a Dutch traveler who visited India in the early 17th century during Jahangir's reign. He wrote extensively about the economic conditions, trade, and the Mughal administration in his famous work, "Remonstrantie." His accounts are particularly valuable for understanding the trade relations between the Dutch East India Company and India during Jahangir’s rule.
