The correct answer is (b) 1, 2, 4 and 5 only

Explanation:

• Faizi (1): He was Akbar's court poet and a scholar of Persian literature.
• Abul Fazal (2): He was the author of the Akbarnama and Ain-i-Akbari.
• Raja Man Singh (4): He was a trusted general and served as a high-ranking military commander (Mansabdar).
• Tansen (5): The legendary musician in Akbar's court.
• Raja Todarmal (3) was the Finance Minister (Vazir/Mushrif-i-Diwan), not Home Minister.
• Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khana (6) was a poet and general, but Todarmal was the one synonymous with Finance.
