Correct:
D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 (A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3). This matching accurately aligns famous medieval Indian historical texts with their respective authors:
- A-2 (Kitab-al Hind - Al-Biruni): Written in the 11th century, this encyclopedic work by the Persian scholar Al-Biruni provides a detailed account of Indian philosophy, religion, and social customs.
- B-1 (Rehla - Ibn Battuta): This travelogue was authored by the Moroccan traveler Ibn Battuta, documenting his extensive journeys across the Islamic world and his experiences in the court of Muhammad bin Tughlaq.
- C-4 (Humayun Nama - Gulbadan Begum): This is a rare historical account written by a woman, Gulbadan Begum (Humayun's sister), detailing the life and reign of Emperor Humayun.
- D-3 (Badshah Nama - Abdul Hamid Lahori): This is the official history of the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, written by his court historian Lahori.
Other options are incorrect as they misattribute these distinct literary works to the wrong eras or authors.
