In the administrative systems of early medieval India (especially during the Rajput period), specific officers were designated for civil and police duties:

• Talar: Derived from Talaraksha, this officer was responsible for the security of the city, specifically serving as the Officer of Night Guards.
• Pattakola: This official was associated with rural administration and served as the Village Tax Collector.
• Sahsadhipati: The term Sahasa in ancient law refers to crimes of violence. Therefore, the Sahsadhipati was the Officer of cases of Dacoity and violent crimes.
• Baladhip: This officer was often the superintendent of the Mandapika (customs house), acting as the Guard of Octroi or customs duties.

Matching these roles results in the sequence A-3, B-4, C-2, D-1, which aligns with Option B.
