The correct answer is option 2, Todarmal. Todarmal was a famous revenue minister during the reign of Akbar. He played a crucial role in implementing several administrative reforms in the revenue system, known as the Zabt system. This system included measuring the land and fixing revenue rates based on the productivity of the land. Todarmal also introduced the Dahsala system, which determined the share of the produce that went to the state. His efficient management of the revenue system greatly contributed to the economic stability and prosperity of the Mughal Empire during Akbar`s reign. Therefore, Todarmal is rightly acknowledged as one of Akbar`s most famous revenue ministers.
