Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Mughal school of painting was established by Humayun, who invited Persian masters Mir Sayyid Ali and Khwaja Abdus Samad to his court [1]. Historical records also confirm the presence of Maulana Dost Musawir (also known as Maulana Dust) and Maulana Yusuf as prominent artists in Humayun's atelier [2]. While Kamal al-Din Bihzad was a legendary Persian painter who significantly influenced the Timurid and Safavid styles, he was not associated with Humayun's court in India. Bihzad belonged to an earlier generation, serving the Timurid court in Herat and later the Safavids in Tabriz, dying around 1535-1536, before Humayun established his formal atelier in Delhi. Although Humayun's painters were trained in the tradition of Bihzad, the master himself never served the Mughal Emperor [1].
