Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The correct answer is Ain-i-Akbari, part of Akbarnama, authored by Abul Fazl.

Key Evidence from Ain-i-Akbari:

• Explicitly states that the Mughal emperor’s commands were binding on all, including nobles, officials, and subjects.
• Emphasizes Akbar’s absolute sovereignty (e.g., "The king’s order is the voice of God").
• Nobles (Mansabdars) swore allegiance to the emperor, ensuring compliance with royal decrees.
