Consider the following events and arrange them in chronological order:1.Murder of Abul Fazl2.Death of Sheikh Mubarak3.Death of Faizi4.Death of DaniyalSelect the correct answer from the codes given below:

1. A

   2, 1, 4, 3

   (a) 2, 1, 4, 3. This option places the murder of Abul Fazl before the death of Faizi, which is chronologically incorrect since Faizi died in 1595 and Abul Fazl was murdered in 1602.

2. B

   3, 2, 1, 4

   (b) 3, 2, 1, 4. This option starts with the death of Faizi as the earliest event, ignoring the fact that Sheikh Mubarak passed away earlier in 1593.

3. C

   2, 3, 1, 4

   (c) 2, 3, 1, 4. Sheikh Mubarak died in 1593, followed by his eldest son Faizi in 1595, then his younger son Abul Fazl was murdered in 1602 by Bir Singh Bundela at the behest of Prince Salim, and finally Akbar's son Prince Daniyal passed away from alcohol poisoning in 1604, making this the correct chronological sequence.

4. D

   2, 4, 3, 1

   (d) 2, 4, 3, 1. This option misplaces the death of Prince Daniyal before the deaths of Faizi and the murder of Abul Fazl, thereby failing to reflect the proper historical timeline of these Mughal era events.

Summary. Official key is (c) 2, 3, 1, 4. The sequence begins with the death of Sheikh Mubarak in 1593, followed by the death of his poet son Faizi in 1595. Next is the assassination of Abul Fazl in August 1602 orchestrated by Salim. Finally, Mughal Prince Daniyal died in March 1604. Careful attention to the respective years of these prominent figures clarifies the correct order.
