Explanation
The Mughal Empire is fundamentally characterized as a military state because its administrative and political machinery was organized on military lines. The cornerstone of Mughal administration was the Mansabdari system, where every official (except the judiciary) held a military rank (mansab) and was obligated to maintain a specific number of troops. The vitality, stability, and expansion of the Central Government System were directly dependent on its military power, as the state relied on force for revenue collection and maintaining authority over a vast and diverse territory. Therefore, both statements are true, and the dependence of the government's vitality on military strength (R) correctly explains why the empire is defined as a military state (A).
