BThe Khaljis
CThe Mughals
DThe Guptas
Answer:
C. The Mughals
Read Explanation:
The system was later fully developed and formalized by the Mughal Empire, particularly during the reign of Emperor Akbar.
Under Akbar's rule, the Jagirdari system became an integral part of the Mansabdari system, where nobles were assigned a rank (mansab) and paid through revenue from a granted territory (jagir) instead of a cash salary.
This system of granting land revenue rights was a key administrative and economic institution that was also adopted by the British.
