Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Mughal painting developed under different Mughal emperors. Artists were patronized by royal courts and became associated with particular rulers.

Step 1: Match Mir Sayyad Ali.
Mir Sayyad Ali was associated with Humayun and early Mughal painting tradition. So, \[ A \rightarrow III \]

Step 2: Match Bihzad.
Bihzad was admired in the Timurid-Persian painting tradition and is connected here with Babur. So, \[ B \rightarrow I \]

Step 3: Match Daswant.
Daswant was an important artist of Akbar's court. So, \[ C \rightarrow II \]

Step 4: Match Abdul Hasan.
Abdul Hasan was a famous painter of Jahangir's court. So, \[ D \rightarrow IV \] Therefore, the correct matching is: \[ A-III,\ B-I,\ C-II,\ D-IV \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{(C)}} \]
