The correct matching for the land tenure and revenue systems is Option A (2-1-4-3):

• Upari (2): In the Maratha administrative system, Uparis were temporary tenants or cultivators-at-will who did not possess hereditary rights to the land, distinguishing them from the permanent Mirasidars.
• Pattadar (1): A Pattadar is a peasant who holds a 'Patta' (land title deed) and is directly responsible for the payment of land revenue to the state.
• Mirasidar (4): Prevalent in Southern India and the Deccan, Mirasidars were hereditary proprietors and co-parcenary title holders who were the primary designated revenue payers for their lands.
• Inam lands (3): These were lands granted as gifts or rewards by the state for religious, charitable, or meritorious services. They were typically held rent-free or at a reduced revenue rate (Jodi).
