C (A) is true, but (R) is false
D Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

Correct answer: (c) (A) is true, but (R) is false

Explanation

  1. A

    Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

    Both true, R not explaining A. R is false: Khalsa is state land; jagirs are assignments to nobles.

  2. B

    (A) is false, but (R) is true

    (A) false. The Khalsa–jagir split is standard Sultanate fiscal geography.

  3. C

    (A) is true, but (R) is false

    (A) true, (R) false. Territories: Khalsa (crown) and jagirs. Jagirs were not ‘land under State control’ in the Khalsa sense — that is Khalsa.

  4. D

    Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

    Both true and R explains A. R reverses Khalsa and jagir.

Summary. Official key is (c). Khalsa vs jagir holds. Jagirs were not the State’s own khalsa land.
