{'mughal period': [2, 1, 1, 3], 'persian sources': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'indo': [8, 1, 6, 20], 'raiyat': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'peasant': [0, 0, 4, 3], 'terms': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'majur': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'muzarian': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

In the Indo-Persian sources of the Mughal period, the term "raiyat" was used to denote a peasant. The term "asami" was also used for the same purpose. Therefore, options 1 and 2 are correct.

Option 3, which includes options 1, 2, and 3, is the correct answer because both "raiyat" and "asami" were used in Indo-Persian sources to refer to peasants.

Option 4 includes options 1, 3, and 4, but "muzarian" (option 3) was not a term used in the Indo-Persian sources of the Mughal period to denote peasants. Therefore, option 4 is incorrect.

To summarize, the correct answer is option 3 - 1, 2, and 3 only.
