    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] The Mughals did not believe in the rule of primogenitu'5. where the eldest son inherited his father's estate. Instead they followed the Mughal and Timurid custom of coparcenacy inheritance, or a division of the inheritance amongst all the sons. Peasant revolts challenged the stability of the Mugal empire from the end of the 17th century.
